Jeremiah:20:1 @
Now Pashhur ,
the son of Immer the priest ,
who was chief officer in the house of Jehovah ,
heard Jeremiah prophesying these things .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:2 @
Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet ,
and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin ,
which was in the house of Jehovah .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:3 @
And it came to pass on the morrow ,
that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks .
Then said Jeremiah unto him ,
Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashhur ,
but Magor-missabib .

Jeremiah:20:4 @
For thus saith Jehovah ,
Behold ,
I will make thee a terror to thyself ,
and to all thy friends ;
and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies ,
and thine eyes shall behold it ;
and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon ,
and he shall carry them captive to Babylon ,
and shall slay them with the sword .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:5 @
Moreover I will give all the riches of this city ,
and all the gains thereof ,
and all the precious things thereof ,
yea ,
all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies ;
and they shall make them a prey ,
and take them ,
and carry them to Babylon .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:6 @
And thou ,
Pashhur ,
and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity ;
and thou shalt come to Babylon ,
and there thou shalt die ,
and there shalt thou be buried ,
thou ,
and all thy friends ,
to whom thou hast prophesied falsely .

Jeremiah:20:7 @
O Jehovah ,
thou hast persuaded me ,
and I was persuaded ;
thou art stronger than I ,
and hast prevailed :
I am become a laughing-stock all the day ,
every one mocketh me .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:8 @
For as often as I speak ,
I cry out ;
I cry ,
Violence and destruction !
because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me ,
and a derision ,
all the day .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:9 @
And if I say ,
I will not make mention of him ,
nor speak any more in his name ,
then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones ,
and I am weary with forbearing ,
and I cannot contain .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:10 @
For I have heard the defaming of many ,
terror on every side .
Denounce ,
and we will denounce him ,
say all my familiar friends ,
they that watch for my fall ;
peradventure he will be persuaded ,
and we shall prevail against him ,
and we shall take our revenge on him .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:11 @
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one and a terrible :
therefore my persecutors shall stumble ,
and they shall not prevail ;
they shall be utterly put to shame ,
because they have not dealt wisely ,
even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:12 @
But ,
O Jehovah of hosts ,
that triest the righteous ,
that seest the heart and the mind ,
let me see thy vengeance on them ;
for unto thee have I revealed my cause .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:13 @
Sing unto Jehovah ,
praise ye Jehovah ;
for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:14 @
Cursed be the day wherein I was born :
let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:15 @
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father ,
saying ,
A man-child is born unto thee ;
making him very glad .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:16 @
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew ,
and repented not :
and let him hear a cry in the morning ,
and shouting at noontime ;
asv @
Jeremiah:20:17 @
because he slew me not from the womb ;
and so my mother would have been my grave ,
and her womb always great .
asv @
Jeremiah:20:18 @
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow ,
that my days should be consumed with shame ?
