RF JER 20:1 And Pashkur-ben-Amer the Priest, who was the Official Guardian of the House of the EVER-LIVING, heard Jeremiah preaching these things,
RF JER 20:2 so Pashkur apprehended Jeremiah the Reciter, and put him into the stocks at the High Benjamin Gate, by the House of the EVER-LIVING.
RF JER 20:3 But the next day Pashkur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks, when Jeremiah said to him, "The EVER-LIVING does not call your name Pashkur,—but Masgur-Misabib.1
RF JER 20:4 Therefore the EVER-LIVING says this, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends, and they shall fall by the sword of the enemy, and your eyes shall see it. I will also give all Judah to the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall roll them to Babel, or assail them with the sword.
RF JER 20:5 And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its earnings, and all its accumulations, and all the treasures of the Kings of Judah, to the hands of their enemies, and they shall plunder, and seize them, and carry to Babel.
RF JER 20:6 And you, Pashkur, and all dwelling in your house, shall go for slaves to Babel, and die, and there you shall be buried, with all your friends to whom you preach falsehood."
RF JER 20:7 Jeremiah Prays for Strength.
Oh, EVER-LIVING, you persuaded me, and I was persuaded! Strengthen me and become my supporter to endure it, for all laugh at me daily,
RF JER 20:8 for whenever I speak I proclaim, "Violence!" and "outrage!" for the message of the EVER-LIVING comes to me to reproach and deride daily!
RF JER 20:9 And I say to myself, "I will not mention Him, nor speak again in His Name," then my heart becomes like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I labour to restrain it; but cannot;
RF JER 20:10 for I hear the slander of the crowd, the terror around suggesting "Inform against him." And "We will, every man, inform." All my acquaintance watch for my slipping! "He will mistake, and we can then overpower him, and take our revenge on him for ourselves!"
RF JER 20:11 But the EVER-LIVING is with me like a terrible giant, therefore my prosecutors will stumble, and not succeed. They will be deeply disgraced, for they have not looked forwards, to a perpetual never forgotten dishonor.
RF JER 20:12 For the LORD of HOSTS tests the righteous—He sees the secret thoughts, and heart. I shall see Your punishment on them, for to You I have referred my plea.
RF JER 20:13 Sing to the EVER-LIVING, praise the EVER-LIVING, for He delivers the life of the wretched from the power of the wicked!
RF JER 20:14 Jeremiah Curses His Birth.
Curse the day when I was born,
The day when my mother bore me,
May it never be blessed!
RF JER 20:15 Curse the man who told my father,
'A son has been born to you,'
A thought of sweet delight to him.
RF JER 20:16 "May that man be like the towns,
Which the LORD without pity rained on.
Hear shrieks at the dawn, and shouts at the noon
RF JER 20:17 Because I died not from the womb,
Because my grave was not my mother,
Or her womb closed for ever
RF JER 20:18 Why came I for this from the womb?
To look on this misery and anguish,
And in shame to consume all my days?
