Jeremiah 20:3-10

3

The next dayH4283, when PashhurH6583 releasedH3318 JeremiahH3414 fromH4480 the stocksH4115, JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to himH413, “The LORDH3068 does notH3808 callH7121H8034 you PashhurH6583, butH3588H518 Magor-missabibH4036.1 4ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068H2005 saysH559: ‘I will make youH5414 a terrorH4032 to yourself and to allH3605 your friendsH157. They will fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH341 before your very eyesH5869H7200. And I will hand JudahH3063 over toH5414H3027 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will carry them awayH1540 to BabylonH894 and put themH5221 to the swordH2719. 5I will give awayH5414 allH3605 the wealthH2633 of thisH2063 cityH5892—allH3605 its productsH3018 and valuablesH3366, andH853 allH3605 the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063—toH3027 their enemiesH341. They will plunder themH962, seize themH3947, and carry them offH935 to BabylonH894. 6And youH859, PashhurH6583, and allH3605 who liveH3427 in your houseH1004, will goH1980 into captivityH7628. You will goH935 to BabylonH894, and thereH8033 you will dieH4191 andH8033 be buriedH6912—youH859 and allH3605 your friendsH157 to whomH834 you have prophesiedH5012 these liesH8267.’”

7You have deceived meH6601, O LORDH3068, and I was deceivedH6601.You have overcome meH2388 and prevailedH3201.I amH1961 a laughingstockH7814 allH3605 day longH3117;everyoneH3605 mocksH3932 me.8ForH3588 wheneverH1767 I speakH1696, I cry outH2199;I proclaimH7121 violenceH2555 and destructionH7701.ForH3588 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 has becomeH1961 to mea reproachH2781 and derisionH7047 allH3605 day longH3117.
9If I sayH559, “I will notH3808 mention HimH2142or speakH1696 any moreH5750 in His nameH8034,”His message becomesH1961 a fireH784 burningH1197 in my heartH3820,shut upH6113 in my bonesH6106,and I become wearyH3811 of holding it inH3557,and I cannotH3808 prevailH3201.10ForH3588 I have heardH8085 the whisperingH1681 of manyH7227:“TerrorH4032 is on every sideH5439!Report himH5046; let us report himH5046!”AllH3605 my trusted friendsH582H7965watch forH8104 my fallH6761:“PerhapsH194 he will be deceivedH6601so that we may prevailH3201 against himand takeH3947 our vengeanceH5360 upon himH4480.”
