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.
