said Jeremiah unto him, The L
ORD
hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4
For thus
saith the L
ORD
, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall
fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold
it:
and I will give all Judah into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with
the sword.
5
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all
the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of
their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6
And thou, Pashur,
and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there
thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied
lies.
7
O L
ORD
, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed:
I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and
spoil; because the word of the L
ORD
was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9
Then I
said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But
his word
was in mine
heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not
stay.
10
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report,
say they,
and we will report it.
All my familiars watched for my halting,
saying,
Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall
prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11
But the L
ORD
is
with me as a mighty
terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly
ashamed; for they shall not prosper:
their
everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12
But, O
L
ORD
of hosts, that triest the righteous,
and
seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance
on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13
Sing unto the L
ORD
, praise ye the L
ORD
: for he
hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14
Cursed
be
the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15
Cursed
be
the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee;
making him very glad.
16
And let that man be as the cities which the L
ORD
overthrew, and repented
not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17
Because he slew me
not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb
to be
always great
with me.
18
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should
be consumed with shame?
CHAPTER 21
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the L
ORD
, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the
son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2
Enquire, I pray thee, of
the L
ORD
for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the L
ORD
will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

Then said
