1 Now Pashur 6583 the son 1121 of Immer 564 the priest 3548, who was also chief 6496 governor 5057 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, heard 8085 that Jeremiah 3414 prophesied 5012 these things 1697.
2 Then Pashur 6583 smote 5221 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030, and put 5414 him in the stocks 4115 that were in the high 5945 gate 8179 of Benjamin 1144, which was by the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow 4283, that Pashur 6583 brought forth 3318 Jeremiah 3414 out of the stocks 4115. Then said 559 Jeremiah 3414 unto him, The LORD 3068 hath not called 7121 thy name 8034 Pashur 6583, but Magormissabib 4036.
4 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068, Behold, I will make 5414 thee a terror 4032 to thyself, and to all thy friends 157: and they shall fall 5307 by the sword 2719 of their enemies 341, and thine eyes 5869 shall behold 7200 it: and I will give 5414 all Judah 3063 into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Babylon 894, and he shall carry them captive 1540 into Babylon 894, and shall slay 5221 them with the sword 2719.
5 Moreover I will deliver 5414 all the strength 2633 of this city 5892, and all the labours 3018 thereof, and all the precious things 3366 thereof, and all the treasures 214 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 will I give 5414 into the hand 3027 of their enemies 341, which shall spoil 962 them, and take 3947 them, and carry 935 them to Babylon 894.
6 And thou, Pashur 6583, and all that dwell 3427 in thine house 1004 shall go 3212 into captivity 7628: and thou shalt come 935 to Babylon 894, and there thou shalt die 4191, and shalt be buried 6912 there, thou, and all thy friends 157, to whom thou hast prophesied 5012 lies 8267.
7 O LORD 3068, thou hast deceived 6601 me, and I was deceived 6601: thou art stronger 2388 than I, and hast prevailed 3201: I am in derision 7814 daily 3117, every one mocketh 3932 me.
8 For since 1767 I spake 1696, I cried out 2199, I cried 7121 violence 2555 and spoil 7701; because the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 was made a reproach 2781 unto me, and a derision 7047, daily 3117.
9 Then I said 559, I will not make mention 2142 of him, nor speak 1696 any more in his name 8034. But his word was in mine heart 3820 as a burning 1197 fire 784 shut up 6113 in my bones 6106, and I was weary 3811 with forbearing 3557, and I could 3201 not stay.
10 For I heard 8085 the defaming 1681 of many 7227, fear 4032 on every side 5439. Report 5046, say they, and we will report 5046 it. All my familiars 582 7965 watched 8104 for my halting 6763 6761, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed 6601, and we shall prevail 3201 against him, and we shall take 3947 our revenge 5360 on him.
11 But the LORD 3068 is with me as a mighty 1368 terrible one 6184: therefore my persecutors 7291 shall stumble 3782, and they shall not prevail 3201: they shall be greatly 3966 ashamed 954; for they shall not prosper 7919: their everlasting 5769 confusion 3639 shall never be forgotten 7911.
12 But, O LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, that triest 974 the righteous 6662, and seest 7200 the reins 3629 and the heart 3820, let me see 7200 thy vengeance 5360 on them: for unto thee have I opened 1540 my cause 7379.
13 Sing 7891 unto the LORD 3068, praise 1984 ye the LORD 3068: for he hath delivered 5337 the soul 5315 of the poor 34 from the hand 3027 of evildoers 7489.
14 Cursed 779 be the day 3117 wherein I was born 3205: let not the day 3117 wherein my mother 517 bare 3205 me be blessed 1288.
15 Cursed 779 be the man 376 who brought tidings 1319 to my father 1, saying 559, A man 2145 child 1121 is born 3205 unto thee; making him very 8055 glad 8055.
16 And let that man 376 be as the cities 5892 which the LORD 3068 overthrew 2015, and repented 5162 not: and let him hear 8085 the cry 2201 in the morning 1242, and the shouting 8643 at noontide 6256 6672;
17 Because he slew 4191 me not from the womb 7358; or that my mother 517 might have been my grave 6913, and her womb 7358 to be always 5769 great 2030 with me.
18 Wherefore came I forth 3318 out of the womb 7358 to see 7200 labour 5999 and sorrow 3015, that my days 3117 should be consumed 3615 with shame 1322?
