1 H6583 Now Pashur H1121 the son H564 of Immer H3548 the priest, H6496 who was also chief H5057 governor H1004 in the house H3068 of the Lord, H8085 heard H3414 that Jeremiah H5012 prophesied H1697 these things.

2 H6583 Then Pashur H5221 struck H3414 Jeremiah H5030 the prophet, H5414 and put H4115 him in the stocks H5945 that were in the high H8179 gate H1144 of Benjamin, H1004 which was by the house H3068 of the Lord.

3 H4283 And it came to pass on the next day, H6583 that Pashur H3318 brought forth H3414 Jeremiah H4115 out of the stocks. H559 Then said H3414 Jeremiah H3068 unto him, The Lord H7121 has not called H8034 your name H6583 Pashur, H4036 but Magor–missabib.

4 H559 For thus says H3068 the Lord, H5414 Behold, I will make H4032 you a terror H157 to yourself, and to all your friends: H5307 and they shall fall H2719 by the sword H341 of their enemies, H5869 and your eyes H7200 shall behold H5414 it: and I will give H3063 all Judah H3027 into the hand H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon, H1540 and he shall carry them captive H894 into Babylon, H5221 and shall kill H2719 them with the sword.

5 H5414 Moreover I will deliver H2633 all the strength H5892 of this city, H3018 and all the labors H3366 there, and all the precious things H214 there, and all the treasures H4428 of the kings H3063 of Judah H5414 will I give H3027 into the hand H341 of their enemies, H962 which shall plunder H3947 them, and take H935 them, and carry H894 them to Babylon.

6 H6583 And you, Pashur, H3427 and all that live H1004 in your house H3212 shall go H7628 into captivity: H935 and you shall come H894 to Babylon, H4191 and there you shall die, H6912 and shall be buried H157 there, you, and all your friends, H5012 to whom you have prophesied H8267 lies.

7 H3068 O Lord, H6601 you have deceived H6601 me, and I was deceived: H2388 you are stronger H3201 than I, and have prevailed: H7814 I am in derision H3117 daily, H3932 every one mocks me.

8 H1767 For since H1696 I spoke, H2199 I cried out, H7121 I cried H2555 violence H7701 and plunder; H1697 because the word H3068 of the Lord H2781 was made a reproach H7047 unto me, and a derision, H3117 daily.

9 H559 Then I said, H2142 I will not make mention H1696 of him, nor speak H8034 any more in his name. H3820 But his word was in my heart H1197 as a burning H784 fire H6113 shut up H6106 in my bones, H3811 and I was weary H3557 with forbearing, H3201 and I could not stay.

10 H8085 For I heard H1681 the defaming H7227 of many, H4032 fear H5439 on every side. H5046 Report, H5046 say they, and we will report H582 it. All my familiars H8104 watched H6763 for my halting, H6601 saying, Perhaps he will be enticed, H3201 and we shall prevail H3947 against him, and we shall take H5360 our revenge on him.

11 H3068 But the Lord H1368 is with me as a mighty H6184 terrible one: H7291 therefore my persecutors H3782 shall stumble, H3201 and they shall not prevail: H3966 they shall be greatly H954 ashamed; H7919 for they shall not prosper: H5769 their everlasting H3639 confusion H7911 shall never be forgotten.

12 H3068 But, O Lord H6635 of hosts, H974 that test H6662 the righteous, H7200 and see H3629 the minds H3820 and the heart, H7200 let me see H5360 your vengeance H1540 on them: for unto you have I opened H7379 my cause.

13 H7891 Sing H3068 unto the Lord, H1984 praise H3068 you the Lord: H5337 for he has delivered H5315 the soul H34 of the poor H3027 from the hand H7489 of evildoers.

14 H779 Cursed H3117 be the day H3205 where I was born: H3117 let not the day H517 where my mother H3205 bore H1288 me be blessed.

15 H779 Cursed H376 be the man H1319 who brought news H1 to my father, H559 saying, H2145 A man H1121 child H3205 is born H8055 unto you; making him very H8055 glad.

16 H376 And let that man H5892 be as the cities H3068 which the Lord H2015 overthrew, H5162 and repented H8085 not: and let him hear H2201 the cry H1242 in the morning, H8643 and the shouting H6256 at noontide;

17 H4191 Because he killed H7358 me not from the womb; H517 or that my mother H6913 might have been my grave, H7358 and her womb H5769 to be always H2030 great with me.

18 H3318 Therefore came I forth H7358 out of the womb H7200 to see H5999 labor H3015 and sorrow, H3117 that my days H3615 should be consumed H1322 with shame?
