strkjv@Jeremiah:20:1 @ Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest , who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD Y@hovah#, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:2 @ 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 Y@hovah#.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:3 @ And it came to pass on the morrow , that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks . Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD Y@hovah# hath not called thy name Pashur , but Magormissabib Magowr mic-Cabiyb#.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:4 @ For thus saith the LORD Y@hovah#, 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 Y@huwdah# into the hand of the king of Babylon , and he shall carry them captive into Babylon , and shall slay them with the sword .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:5 @ 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 Y@huwdah# will I give into the hand of their enemies , which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:6 @ 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 .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:7 @ O LORD Y@hovah#, 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For since I spake , I cried out , I cried violence and spoil ; because the word of the LORD Y@hovah# was made a reproach unto me, and a derision , daily .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:9 @ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I heard the defaming of many , fear on every side . Report , say they, and we will report it. All my familiars #enowsh# watched for my halting , saying, Peradventure he will be enticed , and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But the LORD Y@hovah# is with me as a mighty terrible one : therefore my persecutors shall stumble , and they shall not prevail : they shall be greatly m@#od# ashamed ; for they shall not prosper : their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But, O LORD Y@hovah# of hosts , that triest the righteous , and seest the reins and the heart , let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing unto the LORD Y@hovah#, praise ye the LORD Y@hovah#: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Cursed be the day wherein I was born : let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father , saying , A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad .
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:16 @ And let that man be as the cities which the LORD Y@hovah# overthrew , and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning , and the shouting at noontide #eth# ;
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:17 @ Because he slew me not from the womb ; or that my mother might have been my grave , and her womb to be always great with me.
strkjv@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow , that my days should be consumed with shame ?

bible Jeremiah:20 -
kjv@Jeremiah:20 > > RandyP : Jeremiah is imprisoned for message at the east gate by the chief priest Pashur. He imprisons himself at the same time in a fit of depression. Every word that he had spoken in this prophecy is later proved to be right but, that is not of console to the prophet. I would imagine that even in these times the Lord brings people alongside to comfort, but, what really can be said? It is a tough time for all of Judah especially those in the right. The name given Pashur - Magormissabib suggests moved by fear all around.
