VERSION OF
The
Holy Bible book of
Jeremiah
Chapter Twenty
1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the
house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were
in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of
the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name
Pashur, but Magormissabib.
4 For thus saith the LORD, 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 into Babylon, and shall slay
them with the sword.
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours
thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the
kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil
them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity:
and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried
there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I,
and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word
of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name.
But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I
was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and
we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying,
Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we
shall take our revenge on him.
11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors
shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for
they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and
the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my
cause.
13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of
the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother
bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is
born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented
not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my
grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my
days should be consumed with shame?
