Jeremías 20

1Pashhur son of Immer the priest—he was a leading officer—heard Jeremiah prophesying these words before Yahweh's house. 2So Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet and then placed him in the stocks that were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in Yahweh's house. 3It happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but you are Magor Missabib. 4For Yahweh says this, 'Look, I will make you an object of horror, you and all of your loved ones, for they will fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes will see it. I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will make them captives in Babylon or attack them with the sword. 5I will give him all the wealth of this city and all of its riches, all of its precious items and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. I will place these things in the hand of your enemies, and they will seize them. They will take them and bring them to Babylon. 6But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and die there. You and all of your loved ones to whom you prophesied deceitful things will be buried there.'” 7“Yahweh, you deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and you overpowered me. 8For whenever I have spoken, I have called out and proclaimed, 'Violence and destruction.' 9If I say, 'I will not think about Yahweh anymore. I will not speak any longer in his name.' 10I have heard rumors of terror from many people all around. 'Report! We must report it!' 11But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior, so the ones pursuing me will stagger. 12But Yahweh of hosts, you examine the righteous and see the mind and the heart. 13Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! 14Let the day when I was born be cursed. 15Let the man who informed my father be cursed, 16Let that man be like the cities that Yahweh overthrew and he did not have compassion on them. 17because he did not kill me in the womb, making my mother to be my tomb,
