2: And struckH5221 PashhurH6583 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 the prophet,H5030 and putH5414 himH0853 inH5921 the stocksH4115 that [were]H0834 in gateH8179 of Benjamin,H1144 the highH5945 that [was]H0834 by the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

3: And it came to passH1961 on the next day,H4283 that broughtH3318 PashhurH6583 -H0853 JeremiahH3414 out,H4480 of the stocks.H4115 And saidH0559 to himH0413 JeremiahH3414 notH3808 Pashhur,H6583 has calledH7121 YahwehH3068 your nameH8034 forH3588 butH0518 Magor-missabib.H4036

4: ForH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 behold IH2005 will make youH5414 a terrorH4032 and to allH3605 your friends-H0157 and they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemies,H0341 and your eyesH5869 shall see [it]H7200 andH0853 allH3605 JudahH3063 I will giveH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Babylon,H0894 and he shall carry them captiveH1540 to Babylon,H0894 and slay themH5221 with the sword.H2719

5: Moreover I will deliverH5414 -H0853 allH3605 the wealthH2633 of city,H5892 thisH2063 andH0853 allH3605 its produceH3018 andH0853 allH3605 its precious thingsH3366 andH0853 allH3605 the treasuresH0214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 I will giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemies,H0341 and who will plunder themH0962 and seize themH3947 and carry themH0935 to Babylon.H0894

6: And you,H0859 Pashhur,H6583 and allH3605 who dwell inH3427 your houseH1004 shall goH1980 into captivity-H7628 and to Babylon,H0894 You shall goH0935 and thereH8033 you shall die,H4191 and there,H8033 be buriedH6912 you,H0859 and allH3605 your friends,H0157 to whomH0834 you have prophesiedH5012 -H1992 lies.H8267

7: You induced meH6601 Yahweh,H3068 and I was persuaded-H6601 You are stronger than IH2388 and have prevailed.H3201 I amH1961 in derisionH7814 allH3605 daily,H3117 EveryoneH3605 mocksH3932

8: ForH3588 whenH1767 I spoke,H1696 I cried out,H2199 ViolenceH2555 and plunder-H7701 I shoutedH7121 becauseH3588 was madeH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 a reproachH2781 and a derision,H7047 allH3605 daily.H3117

9: And I said,H0559 notH3808 I will make mention of HimH2142 norH3808 speakH1696 anymoreH5750 in His name.H8034 But [His word] wasH1961 in my heartH3820 like a fireH0784 burningH1197 Shut upH6113 in my bones,H6106 and I was wearyH3811 of holding [it] back,H3557 and notH3808 I could.H3201

10: ForH3588 I heardH8085 mockingH1681 many,H7227 fearH4032 on every side.H5439 Report [they say],H5046 and we will report itH5046 everyH3605 manH0582 of my acquaintanceH7965 watched forH8104 my stumbling,H6761 [saying] PerhapsH0194 he can be induced,H6601 and we will prevailH3201 and we will takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him.H4480

11: But Yahweh [is]H3068 with meH0854 as a mightyH1368 awesome one-H6184 uponH5921 thusH3651 my persecutorsH7291 will stumble,H3782 and notH3808 will prevail.H3201 They will be ashamed-H0954 greatlyH3966 forH3588 notH3808 they will prosper-H7919 [Their] confusionH3639 everlastingH5769 neverH3808 will be forgotten.H7911

12: But YahwehH3068 of hosts,H6635 You who testH0974 the righteous,H6662 [And] seeH7200 the mindH3629 and heart,H3820 let me seeH7200 Your vengeanceH5360 on themH1992 forH3588 before YouH0413 I have pleadedH1540 -H0853 my cause.H7379

13: SingH7891 to Yahweh,H3068 PraiseH1984 -H0853 Yahweh!H3068 forH3588 He has deliveredH5337 -H0853 the lifeH5315 of the poorH0034 from the handH3027 of evildoers.H7489

14: Cursed [be]H0779 the dayH3117 in whichH0834 I was born-H3205 the dayH3117 in whichH0834 bore meH3205 my motherH0517 notH0408 let beH1961 blessed.H1288

15: Let [be] cursedH0779 the manH0376 whoH0834 brought newsH1319 -H0853 to my father,H0001 saying,H0559 has been bornH3205 childH1121 a maleH2145 veryH8056 Making him glad.H8056

16: And let beH1961 manH0376 thatH1931 like the citiesH5892 whichH0834 overthrew,H2015 YahwehH3069 and not-H3808 did relentH5162 and let him hearH8085 the cryH2201 in the morning,H1242 and the shoutingH8643 atH6256 noon-H6672

17: becauseH0834 notH3808 he did kill meH4191 from the womb-H7358 that might have beenH1961 my motherH0517 my grave,H6913 and her wombH7358 pregnantH2030 always enlarged [with me].H5769

18: WhyH4100 [is] this [that]H2088 from the wombH7358 I came forthH3318 to seeH7200 laborH5999 and sorrow,H3015 that should be consumedH3615 with shame?H1322 my days.H3117
