Jeremiah 20:3-10

3And it came to pass the nextH4283 dayH4283, that Pashur broughtH3318 forthH3318 JeremiahH3414 out of the stocksH4115; and JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto him, Jehovah hath not calledH7121 thy nameH8034 Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

4For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I makeH5414 thee a terrorH4032 to thyself, and to all thy friendsH157; and they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH341, and thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 [it]; and I will giveH5414 all JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall carry them captive into BabylonH894, and shall smite them with the swordH2719.

5And, I will giveH5414 all the wealthH2633 of this cityH5892, and all its gains, and all its preciousH3366 things, and all the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, will I giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall makeH5414 them a prey, and takeH3947 them, and carry them to BabylonH894.

6And thou, Pashur, and all that dwellH3427 in thy houseH1004 shall goH935 into captivityH7628; and thou shalt comeH935 to BabylonH894, and there thou shalt dieH4191, and there thou shalt be buriedH6912, thou and all thy friendsH157 to whom thou hast prophesiedH5012 falsehoodH8267.

7Jehovah, thou hast enticedH6601 me, and I wasH1961 enticedH6601; thou hast laid holdH2388 of me, and hast prevailedH3201; I amH1961 becomeH1961 a derision the whole dayH3117: every one mocketh me.

8For as oft as I speakH1696, I cryH2199 out; I proclaimH7121 violenceH2555 and spoil; for the wordH1697 of Jehovah is becomeH1961 unto me a reproachH2781 and a derisionH7047 all the dayH3117.

9And I saidH559, I will not makeH2142 mention of him, nor speakH1696 any more in his nameH8034: but it was in my heartH3820 as a burning fireH784 shutH6113 up in my bonesH6106; and I becameH1961 weariedH3811 with holdingH3557 in, and I could not.

10For I have heardH8085 the defaming of manyH7227, terrorH4032 on every side: ReportH1681, and we will reportH1681 it. All my familiars are watchingH8104 for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticedH6601, and we shall prevailH3201 against him; and we shall takeH3947 our revenge on him.
