Jeremiah 20

Jeremiah
  1. Now Pashhur the son of Immer, the priest who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.  (Ezra 2:37&38;   1 Chr. 24:1)
  2. Then Pashhur struck 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.  (Jer. 37:13;   John 18:22)
  3. And it happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks.  Then Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib.
  4. For I heard many mocking:  "Fear on every side!"  "Report," they say, "and we will report it!"  All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying, "Perhaps he can be induced; then we will prevail against him,  (Ps. 31:12;   Ps. 41:9;   Ps. 55:13-14)  and we will take out revenge on him."
  5. Because he did not kill me from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb always enlarged with me.  (Job 3:10&11)
  6. Why did I come forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow,  (Job 3:20;   Lam. 3:1)  that my days should be consumed with shame?
