24:020:001 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest,
who was also chief
governor
in the house of the lord, heard that Jeremiah
prophesied
these things.
24:020:002 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet,
and put him in the
stocks
that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by
the
house of the lord.
24:020:003 And it came to pass on the morrow, that
Pashur brought forth
Jeremiah
out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him,
The
lord
hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
24:020:004 For thus saith the lord, 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.
24:020:005 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.
24:020:006 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.
24:020:007 O lord, 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.
24:020:008 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried
violence and spoil;
because
the word of the lord was made a reproach unto
me, and
a
derision, daily.
24:020:009 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.
24:020:010 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.
24:020:011 But the lord 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.
