Jeremías 20
Lexham English Bible
1Now Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who was officer in charge in the temple of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the temple of Yahweh.
3⌞And then⌟ on the next day, when Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh will not call your name Pashhur, ⌞but⌟ Terror From All Around.
4For thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will be seeing it. And all Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
5And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious items, and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, and they will seize them, and they will bring them to Babylon.
6And you, Pashhur, and all those who live in your house will go into captivity, and you will go to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends to whom you have prophesied ⌞falsely⌟.’ ”
7You have persuaded me, O Yahweh, and I was persuaded. You have overpowered me, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long. ⌞Everyone⌟ is mocking me.
8For ⌞as often as⌟ I speak, I must cry out violence and destruction. I must shout, for the word of Yahweh has become for me a disgrace and derision all day long.
9But if I say, “I will not mention him and I will no longer speak in his name,” then it becomes in my heart like a fire burning, locked up in my bones, and I struggle to contain it, and I am not able.
10For I hear the rumor of many, “Terror is from all around, denounce him, yes, let us denounce him!” ⌞All my close friends⌟ are watchers of my stumbling, saying, “perhaps he can be persuaded, and we can prevail over him, and we can take our revenge on him.”
11But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior. ⌞Therefore⌟ my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success. Their ⌞everlasting insult⌟ will not be forgotten.
12Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the ⌞heart⌟ and the ⌞mind⌟, let me see your retribution upon them, for to you I have revealed my legal case.
13Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14Cursed be the day on which I was born, let not the day on which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.
15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, ⌞saying⌟, “A child is born to you, a son!” and he made him very glad.
16And let that man be like the cities that Yahweh demolished without regret, and let him hear a cry for help in the morning, and an alarm at the time of noon.
17Because he did not kill me in the womb, so that my mother would have been for me my grave, and her womb would be pregnant forever.
18⌞Why⌟ did I come out from the womb, to see toil, and sorrow, and to ⌞end my days in shame⌟?
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y PASHUR sacerdote, hijo de Immer, que presidía por príncipe en la casa de Jehová, oyó á Jeremías que profetizaba estas palabras.
2E hirió Pashur á Jeremías profeta, y púsole en el cepo que estaba á la puerta de Benjamín en lo alto, la cual conducía á la casa de Jehová.
3Y el día siguiente Pashur sacó á Jeremías del cepo. Díjole entonces Jeremías: Jehová no ha llamado tu nombre Pashur, sino Magor-missabib.
4Porque así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí yo te pondré en espanto á ti, y á todos los que bien te quieren, y caerán por el cuchillo de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán: y á todo Judá entregaré en mano del rey de Babilonia, y los trasportará á Babilonia, y herirálos á cuchillo.
5Entregaré asimismo toda la sustancia de esta ciudad, y todo su trabajo, y todas sus cosas preciosas; y daré todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá en manos de sus enemigos, y los saquearán, y los tomarán, y llevaránlos á Babilonia.
6Y tú, Pashur, y todos los moradores de tu casa iréis cautivos, y entrarás en Babilonia, y allí morirás, y serás allá enterrado, tú, y todos los que bien te quieren, á los cuales has profetizado con mentira.
7Alucinásteme, oh Jehová, y hállome frustrado: más fuerte fuiste que yo, y vencísteme: cada día he sido escarnecido; cada cual se burla de mí.
8Porque desde que hablo, doy voces, grito, Violencia y destrucción: porque la palabra de Jehová me ha sido para afrenta y escarnio cada día.
9Y dije: No me acordaré más de él, ni hablaré más en su nombre: empero fué en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente metido en mis huesos, trabajé por sufrirlo, y no pude.
10Porque oí la murmuración de muchos, temor de todas partes: Denunciad, y denunciaremos. Todos mis amigos miraban si claudicaría. Quizá se engañará, decían, y prevaleceremos contra él, y tomaremos de él nuestra venganza.
11Mas Jehová está conmigo como poderoso gigante; por tanto los que me persiguen tropezarán, y no prevalecerán; serán avergonzados en gran manera, porque no prosperarán; tendrán perpetua confusión que jamás será olvidada.
12Oh Jehová de los ejércitos, que sondas los justos, que ves los riñones y el corazón, vea yo tu venganza de ellos; porque á ti he descubierto mi causa.
13Cantad á Jehová, load á Jehová: porque librado ha el alma del pobre de mano de los malignos.
14Maldito el día en que nací: el día en que mi madre me parió no sea bendito.
15Maldito el hombre que dió nuevas á mi padre, diciendo, Hijo varón te ha nacido, haciéndole alegrarse así mucho.
16Y sea el tal hombre como las ciudades que asoló Jehová, y no se arrepintió: y oiga gritos de mañana, y voces al medio día;
17Porque no me mató en el vientre, y mi madre me hubiera sido mi sepulcro, y su vientre concebimiento perpetuo.
18¿Para qué salí del vientre? ¿para ver trabajo y dolor, y que mis días se gastasen en afrenta?
King James Version
1Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2Then 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.
3And 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 Magor-missabib.
4For 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.
5Moreover 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.
6And 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.
7O 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.
8For 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.
9Then 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.
10For 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.
11But 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.
12But, O LORD 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.
13Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17Because 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.
18Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

1Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the LORD’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the LORD’s house.
3On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4For the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
8For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.
9If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
10For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
12But the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
16Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
