1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in YHWH’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. Jeremiah 20:1WEB
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in YHWH’s house. Jeremiah 20:2WEB
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “YHWH has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib. Jeremiah 20:3WEB
4 For YHWH says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword. Jeremiah 20:4WEB
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon. Jeremiah 20:5WEB
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’” Jeremiah 20:6WEB
7 YHWH, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me. Jeremiah 20:7WEB
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because YHWH’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day. Jeremiah 20:8WEB
9 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t. Jeremiah 20:9WEB
10 For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.” Jeremiah 20:10WEB
11 But YHWH is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten. Jeremiah 20:11WEB
12 But YHWH of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you. Jeremiah 20:12WEB
13 Sing to YHWH! Praise YHWH, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers. Jeremiah 20:13WEB
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed. Jeremiah 20:14WEB
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad. Jeremiah 20:15WEB
16 Let that man be as the cities which YHWH overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime, Jeremiah 20:16WEB
17 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great. Jeremiah 20:17WEB
18 Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? Jeremiah 20:18WEB
