[1]Now PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of ImmerH564 the priestH3548, who was also chiefH6496 governorH5057 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, heardH8085[H8799] that JeremiahH3414 prophesiedH5012[H8738] these thingsH1697.
[2]Then PashurH6583 smoteH5221[H8686] JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and putH5414[H8799] him in the stocksH4115 that were in the highH5945 gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, which was by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[3]And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that PashurH6583 brought forthH3318[H8686] JeremiahH3414 out of the stocksH4115. Then saidH559[H8799] JeremiahH3414 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath not calledH7121[H8804] thy nameH8034 PashurH6583, but MagormissabibH4036.
[4]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Behold, I will makeH5414[H8802] thee a terrorH4032 to thyself, and to all thy friendsH157[H8802]: and they shall fallH5307[H8804] by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH341[H8802], and thine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200[H8802] it: and I will giveH5414[H8799] all JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall carry them captiveH1540[H8689] into BabylonH894, and shall slayH5221[H8689] them with the swordH2719.
[5]Moreover I will deliverH5414[H8804] all the strengthH2633 of this cityH5892, and all the laboursH3018 thereof, and all the precious thingsH3366 thereof, and all the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 will I giveH5414[H8799] into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341[H8802], which shall spoilH962[H8804] them, and takeH3947[H8804] them, and carryH935[H8689] them to BabylonH894.
[6]And thou, PashurH6583, and all that dwellH3427[H8802] in thine houseH1004 shall goH3212[H8799] into captivityH7628: and thou shalt comeH935[H8799] to BabylonH894, and there thou shalt dieH4191[H8799], and shalt be buriedH6912[H8735] there, thou, and all thy friendsH157[H8802], to whom thou hast prophesiedH5012[H8738] liesH8267.
[7]O LORDH3068, thou hast deceivedH6601[H8765] me, and I was deceivedH6601[H8735]: thou art strongerH2388[H8804] than I, and hast prevailedH3201[H8799]: I am in derisionH7814 dailyH3117, every one mockethH3932 meH8802.
[8]For sinceH1767 I spakeH1696[H8762], I cried outH2199[H8799], I criedH7121[H8799] violenceH2555 and spoilH7701; because the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was made a reproachH2781 unto me, and a derisionH7047, dailyH3117.
[9]Then I saidH559[H8804], I will not make mentionH2142[H8799] of him, nor speakH1696[H8762] any more in his nameH8034. But his word was in mine heartH3820 as a burningH1197[H8802] fireH784 shut upH6113[H8803] in my bonesH6106, and I was wearyH3811[H8738] with forbearingH3557[H8771], and I couldH3201 not stayH8799.
[10]For I heardH8085[H8804] the defamingH1681 of manyH7227, fearH4032 on every sideH5439. ReportH5046[H8685], say they, and we will reportH5046[H8686] it. All my familiarsH582[H7965] watchedH8104[H8802] for my haltingH6763[H8676][H6761], saying, Peradventure he will be enticedH6601[H8792], and we shall prevailH3201[H8799] against him, and we shall takeH3947[H8799] our revenge on himH5360.
[11]But the LORDH3068 is with me as a mightyH1368 terrible oneH6184: therefore my persecutorsH7291[H8802] shall stumbleH3782[H8735], and they shall not prevailH3201[H8799]: they shall be greatlyH3966 ashamedH954[H8804]; for they shall not prosperH7919[H8689]: their everlastingH5769 confusionH3639 shall never be forgottenH7911.[H8735]
[12]But, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that triestH974[H8802] the righteousH6662, and seestH7200[H8802] the reinsH3629 and the heartH3820, let me seeH7200[H8799] thy vengeanceH5360 on them: for unto thee have I openedH1540[H8765] my causeH7379.
[13]SingH7891[H8798] unto the LORDH3068, praiseH1984[H8761] ye the LORDH3068: for he hath deliveredH5337[H8689] the soulH5315 of the poorH34 from the handH3027 of evildoersH7489.[H8688]
[14]CursedH779[H8803] be the dayH3117 wherein I was bornH3205[H8795]: let not the dayH3117 wherein my motherH517 bareH3205[H8804] me be blessedH1288.[H8803]
[15]CursedH779[H8803] be the manH376 who brought tidingsH1319[H8765] to my fatherH1, sayingH559[H8800], A manH2145 childH1121 is bornH3205[H8795] unto thee; making him veryH8055[H8763] gladH8055.[H8765]
[16]And let that manH376 be as the citiesH5892 which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015[H8804], and repentedH5162[H8738] not: and let him hearH8085[H8804] the cryH2201 in the morningH1242, and the shoutingH8643 H6256at noontideH6672
[17]Because he slewH4191[H8790] me not from the wombH7358; or that my motherH517 might have been my graveH6913, and her wombH7358 to be alwaysH5769 great with meH2030.
[18]Wherefore came I forthH3318[H8804] out of the wombH7358 to seeH7200[H8800] labourH5999 and sorrowH3015, that my daysH3117 should be consumedH3615[H8799] with shameH1322?
