20:1 Now
Pashhur
the
priest,
the
son
of
Immer,
who
was
chief
officer
in
the
house
of
the
LORD,
heard
Jeremiah
prophesying
these
things.
20:2 Then
Pashhur
beat
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
and
put
him
in
the
stocks
that
were
in
the
upper
Benjamin
Gate
of
the
house
of
the
LORD.
20:3 The
next
day,
when
Pashhur
released
Jeremiah
from
the
stocks,
Jeremiah
said
to
him,
"The
LORD
does
not
call
your
name
Pashhur,
but
Terror
On
Every
Side.
20:4 For
thus
says
the
LORD:
Behold,
I
will
make
you
a
terror
to
yourself
and
to
all
your
friends.
They
shall
fall
by
the
sword
of
their
enemies
while
you
look
on.
And
I
will
give
all
Judah
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Babylon.
He
shall
carry
them
captive
to
Babylon,
and
shall
strike
them
down
with
the
sword.
20:5 Moreover,
I
will
give
all
the
wealth
of
the
city,
all
its
gains,
all
its
prized
belongings,
and
all
the
treasures
of
the
kings
of
Judah
into
the
hand
of
their
enemies,
who
shall
plunder
them
and
seize
them
and
carry
them
to
Babylon.
20:6 And
you,
Pashhur,
and
all
who
dwell
in
your
house,
shall
go
into
captivity.
To
Babylon
you
shall
go,
and
there
you
shall
die,
and
there
you
shall
be
buried,
you
and
all
your
friends,
to
whom
you
have
prophesied
falsely."
20:7 O
LORD,
you
have
deceived
me,
and
I
was
deceived;
you
are
stronger
than
I,
and
you
have
prevailed.
I
have
become
a
laughingstock
all
the
day;
everyone
mocks
me.
20:8 For
whenever
I
speak,
I
cry
out,
I
shout,
"Violence
and
destruction!"
For
the
word
of
the
LORD
has
become
for
me
a
reproach
and
derision
all
day
long.
20:9 If
I
say,
"I
will
not
mention
him,
or
speak
any
more
in
his
name,"
there
is
in
my
heart
as
it
were
a
burning
fire
shut
up
in
my
bones,
and
I
am
weary
with
holding
it
in,
and
I
cannot.
20:10 For
I
hear
many
whispering.
Terror
is
on
every
side!
"Denounce
him!
Let
us
denounce
him!"
say
all
my
close
friends,
watching
for
my
fall.
"Perhaps
he
will
be
deceived;
then
we
can
overcome
him
and
take
our
revenge
on
him."
20:11 But
the
LORD
is
with
me
as
a
dread
warrior;
therefore
my
persecutors
will
stumble;
they
will
not
overcome
me.
They
will
be
greatly
shamed,
for
they
will
not
succeed.
Their
eternal
dishonor
will
never
be
forgotten.
20:12 O
LORD
of
hosts,
who
tests
the
righteous,
who
sees
the
heart
and
the
mind,
let
me
see
your
vengeance
upon
them,
for
to
you
have
I
committed
my
cause.
20:13 Sing
to
the
LORD;
praise
the
LORD!
For
he
has
delivered
the
life
of
the
needy
from
the
hand
of
evildoers.
20:14 Cursed
be
the
day
on
which
I
was
born!
The
day
when
my
mother
bore
me,
let
it
not
be
blessed!
20:15 Cursed
be
the
man
who
brought
the
news
to
my
father,
"A
son
is
born
to
you,"
making
him
very
glad.
20:16 Let
that
man
be
like
the
cities
that
the
LORD
overthrew
without
pity;
let
him
hear
a
cry
in
the
morning
and
an
alarm
at
noon,
20:17 because
he
did
not
kill
me
in
the
womb;
so
my
mother
would
have
been
my
grave,
and
her
womb
forever
great.
20:18 Why
did
I
come
out
from
the
womb
to
see
toil
and
sorrow,
and
spend
my
days
in
shame
