Jeremiah 20

KJV

12  But, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ that triest⁹⁷⁴ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² and seest⁷²⁰⁰ the reins³⁶²⁹ and the heart,³⁸²⁰ let me see⁷²⁰⁰ thy vengeance⁵³⁶⁰ on⁴⁴⁸⁰ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ unto⁴¹³ thee have I opened^{1540 853} my cause.⁷³⁷⁹

13  Sing⁷⁸⁹¹ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ praise¹⁹⁸⁴ ye ⁸⁵³ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he hath delivered^{5337 853} the soul⁵³¹⁵ of the poor³⁴ from the hand^{4480 3027} of evildoers.⁷⁴⁸⁹

14  Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be the day³¹¹⁷ wherein⁸³⁴ I was born:³²⁰⁵ let not⁴⁰⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ wherein⁸³⁴ my mother⁵¹⁷ bore³²⁰⁵ me be¹⁹⁶¹ blessed.¹²⁸⁸

15  Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be the man³⁷⁶ who⁸³⁴ brought tidings¹³¹⁹ to ⁸⁵³ my father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ A man²¹⁴⁵ child¹¹²¹ is born³²⁰⁵ unto thee; making him very glad.^{8055 8055}

16  And let that¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ be¹⁹⁶¹ as the cities⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ overthrew,²⁰¹⁵ and repented⁵¹⁶² not:³⁸⁰⁸ and let him hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the cry²²⁰¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² and the shouting⁸⁶⁴³ at noontide;^{6256 6672}

17  Because⁸³⁴ he slew⁴¹⁹¹ me not³⁸⁰⁸ from the womb;^{4480 7358} or that my mother⁵¹⁷ might have been¹⁹⁶¹ my grave,⁶⁹¹³ and her womb⁷³⁵⁸ to be always⁵⁷⁶⁹ great²⁰³⁰ with me.

18  Wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ came I forth³³¹⁸ out of the womb^{4480 7358} to see⁷²⁰⁰ labor⁵⁹⁹⁹ and sorrow,³⁰¹⁵ that my days³¹¹⁷ should be consumed³⁶¹⁵ with shame?¹³²²

1  Now Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Immer⁵⁶⁴ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ who¹⁹³¹ was also chief⁵⁰⁵⁷ governor⁶⁴⁹⁶ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that ⁸⁵³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ prophesied^{5012 853} these⁴²⁸ things.¹⁶⁹⁷

2  Then Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ smote^{5221 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him in⁵⁹²¹ the stocks⁴¹¹⁵ that⁸³⁴ were in the high⁵⁹⁴⁵ gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ which⁸³⁴ was by the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ on the morrow,^{4480 4283} that Pashur⁶⁵⁸³ brought forth^{3318 853} Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the stocks.⁴¹¹⁵ Then said⁵⁵⁹ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ unto⁴¹³ him, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ called⁷¹²¹ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ Pashur,⁶⁵⁸³ but^{3588 518} Magor-missabib.⁴⁰³⁶

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ thee a terror⁴⁰³² to thyself, and to all³⁶⁰⁵ thy friends:¹⁵⁷ and they shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ of their enemies,³⁴¹ and thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall behold⁷²⁰⁰ it: and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah³⁰⁶³ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and he shall carry them captive¹⁵⁴⁰ into Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and shall slay⁵²²¹ them with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

5  Moreover I will deliver^{5414 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the strength²⁶³³ of this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and all³⁶⁰⁵ the labors³⁰¹⁸ thereof, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the precious things³³⁶⁶ thereof, and all³⁶⁰⁵ the treasures²¹⁴ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ will I give⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of their enemies,³⁴¹ which shall spoil⁹⁶² them, and take³⁹⁴⁷ them, and carry⁹³⁵ them to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

6  And thou,⁸⁵⁹ Pashur,⁶⁵⁸³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that dwell³⁴²⁷ in thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity:⁷⁶²⁸ and thou shalt come⁹³⁵ to Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and there⁸⁰³³ thou shalt die,⁴¹⁹¹ and shalt be buried⁶⁹¹² there,⁸⁰³³ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy friends,¹⁵⁷ to whom⁸³⁴ thou hast prophesied⁵⁰¹² lies.⁸²⁶⁷

7  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou hast deceived⁶⁶⁰¹ me, and I was deceived:⁶⁶⁰¹ thou art stronger²³⁸⁸ than I, and hast prevailed:³²⁰¹ I am¹⁹⁶¹ in derision⁷⁸¹⁴ daily,^{3605 3117} every one³⁶⁰⁵ mocketh³⁹³² me.

8  For³⁵⁸⁸ since^{4480 1767} I spoke,¹⁶⁹⁶ I cried out,²¹⁹⁹ I cried⁷¹²¹ violence²⁵⁵⁵ and spoil;⁷⁷⁰¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was made¹⁹⁶¹ a reproach²⁷⁸¹ unto me, and a derision,⁷⁰⁴⁷ daily.^{3605 3117}

9  Then I said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ make mention²¹⁴² of him, nor³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ any more⁵⁷⁵⁰ in his name.⁸⁰³⁴ But his word was¹⁹⁶¹ in mine heart³⁸²⁰ as a burning¹¹⁹⁷ fire⁷⁸⁴ shut up⁶¹¹³ in my bones,⁶¹⁰⁶ and I was weary³⁸¹¹ with forbearing,³⁵⁵⁷ and I could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stay.

10  For³⁵⁸⁸ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the defaming¹⁶⁸¹ of many,⁷²²⁷ fear⁴⁰³² on every side.^{4480 5439} Report,⁵⁰⁴⁶ say they, and we will report⁵⁰⁴⁶ it. All³⁶⁰⁵ my familiars^{582 7965} watched⁸¹⁰⁴ for my halting,⁶⁷⁶¹ saying, Peradventure¹⁹⁴ he will be enticed,⁶⁶⁰¹ and we shall prevail³²⁰¹ against him, and we shall take³⁹⁴⁷ our revenge⁵³⁶⁰ on⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

11  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁸⁵⁴ me as a mighty¹³⁶⁸ terrible one:⁶¹⁸⁴ therefore^{5921 3651} my persecutors⁷²⁹¹ shall stumble,³⁷⁸² and they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail:³²⁰¹ they shall be greatly³⁹⁶⁶ ashamed;⁹⁵⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper:⁷⁹¹⁹ their everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ confusion³⁶³⁹ shall never³⁸⁰⁸ be forgotten.⁷⁹¹¹

1 καὶ ἤκουσεν Πασχωρ υἱὸς Εμμηρ ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ οὗτος ἦν καθεσταμένος ἡγούμενος οἴκου κυρίου τοῦ Ιερεμιου προφητεύοντος τοὺς λόγους τούτους

2 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνέβαλεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν καταρράκτην ὃς ἦν ἐν πύλῃ οἴκου ἀποτεταγμένου τοῦ ὑπερῴου ὃς ἦν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

3 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν Πασχωρ τὸν Ιερεμιαν ἐκ τοῦ καταρράκτου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ιερεμιας οὐχὶ Πασχωρ ἐκάλεσεν κύριος τὸ ὄνομά σου ἀλλ᾽ ἢ μέτοικον

4 διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμί σε εἰς μετοικίαν σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς φίλοις σου καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ὄψονται καὶ σὲ καὶ πάντα Ιουδαν δώσω εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος καὶ μετοικιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν μαχαίραις

5 καὶ δώσω τὴν πᾶσαν ἰσχὺν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ πάντας τοὺς πόνους αὐτῆς καὶ πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως Ιουδα εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄξουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα

6 καὶ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου πορεύσεσθε ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι ἀποθανῇ καὶ ἐκεῖ ταφήσῃ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου οἷς ἐπροφήτευσας αὐτοῖς ψευδῆ

7 ἠπάτησάς με κύριε καὶ ἠπατήθην ἐκράτησας καὶ ἠδυνάσθης ἐγενόμην εἰς γέλωτα πᾶσαν ἡμέραν διετέλεσα μυκτηριζόμενος

8 ὅτι πικρῷ λόγῳ μου γελάσομαι ἀθεσίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπικαλέσομαι ὅτι ἐγενήθη λόγος κυρίου εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ εἰς χλευασμὸν πᾶσαν ἡμέραν μου

9 καὶ εἶπα οὐ μὴ ὀνομάσω τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ λαλήσω ἔτι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον φλέγον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου καὶ παρεῖμαι πάντοθεν καὶ οὐ δύναμαι φέρειν

10 ὅτι ἤκουσα ψόγον πολλῶν συναθροιζομένων κυκλόθεν ἐπισύστητε καὶ ἐπισυστῶμεν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄνδρες φίλοι αὐτοῦ τηρήσατε τὴν ἐπίνοιαν αὐτοῦ εἰ ἀπατηθήσεται καὶ δυνησόμεθα αὐτῷ καὶ λημψόμεθα τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ἡμῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ

11 καὶ κύριος μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ καθὼς μαχητὴς ἰσχύων διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωξαν καὶ νοῆσαι οὐκ ἠδύναντο ᾐσχύνθησαν σφόδρα ὅτι οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἀτιμίας αὐτῶν αἳ δι᾽ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσονται

12 κύριε δοκιμάζων δίκαια συνίων νεφροὺς καὶ καρδίας ἴδοιμι τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐκδίκησιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὅτι πρὸς σὲ ἀπεκάλυψα τὰ ἀπολογήματά μου

13 ᾄσατε τῷ κυρίῳ αἰνέσατε αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐξείλατο ψυχὴν πένητος ἐκ χειρὸς πονηρευομένων

14 ἐπικατάρατος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἐτέχθην ἐν αὐτῇ ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἔτεκέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου μὴ ἔστω ἐπευκτή

15 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εὐαγγελισάμενος τῷ πατρί μου λέγων ἐτέχθη σοι ἄρσεν εὐφραινόμενος

16 ἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὡς αἱ πόλεις ἃς κατέστρεψεν κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας

17 ὅτι οὐκ ἀπέκτεινέν με ἐν μήτρᾳ μητρὸς καὶ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ μήτηρ μου τάφος μου καὶ ἡ μήτρα συλλήμψεως αἰωνίας

18 ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἐξῆλθον ἐκ μήτρας τοῦ βλέπειν κόπους καὶ πόνους καὶ διετέλεσαν ἐν αἰσχύνῃ αἱ ἡμέραι μου

Vul

1 Et audivit Phassur filius Emmer, sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini, Jeremiam prophetantem sermones istos.

2 Et percussit Phassur Jeremiam prophetam, et misit eum in nervum quod erat in porta Benjamin superiori, in domo Domini.

3 Cumque illuxisset in crastinum, eduxit Phassur Jeremiam de nervo, et dixit ad eum Jeremias: Non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum, sed Pavorem undique.

4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: [Ecce ego dabo te in pavorem,
te et omnes amicos tuos:
et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum,
et oculi tui videbunt:
et omnem Judam dabo in manum regis Babylonis,
et traducet eos in Babylonem,
et percutiet eos gladio.

5 Et dabo universam substantiam civitatis hujus,
et omnem laborem ejus, omneque pretium,
et cunctos thesauros regum Juda
dabo in manu inimicorum eorum:
et diripient eos, et tollent,
et ducent in Babylonem.

6 Tu autem, Phassur, et omnes habitatores domus tuæ,
ibitis in captivitatem:
et in Babylonem venies,
et ibi morieris, ibique sepelieris
tu, et omnes amici tui,
quibus prophetasti mendacium.]

7 [Seduxisti me, Domine, et seductus sum:
fortior me fuisti, et invaluisti:
factus sum in derisum tota die;
omnes subsannant me.

8 Quia jam olim loquor,
vociferans iniquitatem, et vastitatem clamito:
et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium,
et in derisum tota die.

9 Et dixi: Non recordabor ejus,
neque loquar ultra in nomine illius:
et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exæstuans,
claususque in ossibus meis,
et defeci, ferre non sustinens.

10 Audivi enim contumelias multorum,
et terrorem in circuitu:
Persequimini, et persequamur eum,
ab omnibus viris qui erant pacifici mei,
et custodientes latus meum:
si quomodo decipiatur, et prævaleamus adversus eum,
et consequamur ultionem ex eo.

11 Dominus autem mecum est, quasi bellator fortis:
idcirco qui persequuntur me cadent,
et infirmi erunt:
confundentur vehementer,
quia non intellexerunt opprobrium sempiternum,
quod numquam delebitur.

12 Et tu, Domine exercituum, probator justi,
qui vides renes et cor,
videam, quæso, ultionem tuam ex eis:
tibi enim revelavi causam meam.

13 Cantate Domino,
laudate Dominum,
quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.

14 Maledicta dies in qua natus sum!
dies in qua peperit me mater mea
non sit benedicta!

15 Maledictus vir qui annuntiavit patri meo,
dicens: Natus est tibi puer masculus,
et quasi gaudio lætificavit eum!

16 Sit homo ille ut sunt civitates quæ subvertit Dominus,
et non pœnituit eum:
audiat clamorem mane,
et ululatum in tempore meridiano,

17 qui non me interfecit a vulva,
ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulchrum,
et vulva ejus conceptus æternus!

18 Quare de vulva egressus sum,
ut viderem laborem et dolorem,
et consumerentur in confusione dies mei?]
