Jeremiah 20章 ESV | 微读圣经

Jeremiah Persecuted by Pashhur

1Now 20:1 ch. 21:1; 38:1; 1 Chr. 9:12; [Ezra 2:38] Pashhur the priest, the son of 20:1 1 Chr. 24:14; Ezra 2:37Immer, who was 20:1 [ch. 29:26]chief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

2Then 20:2 [See ver. 1above] Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him 20:2 ch. 29:26; Acts 16:24in the stocks that were in the upper 20:2 ch. 37:13Benjamin Gate of the house of the Lord.

3The next day, when 20:3 [See ver. 1above]Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call your name 20:3 [See ver. 1above]Pashhur, but Terror on Every Side.

4For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you 20:4 See ch. 6:25a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall strike them down with the sword.

5Moreover, 20:5 [2 Kgs. 20:17]; See 2 Kgs. 24:12-16; 25:13-17I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its 20:5 Job 28:10; Ezek. 22:25prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon.

6And you, 20:6 ch. 21:1; 38:1; 1 Chr. 9:12; [Ezra 2:38] Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, 20:6 See ch. 14:14to whom you have prophesied falsely.”

7O Lord, 20:7 [Ezek. 14:9] you have deceived me,

and I was deceived;

20:7 [2 Pet. 1:21] you are stronger than I,

and you have prevailed.

20:7 Ps. 119:51; Lam. 3:14I have become a laughingstock all the day;

everyone mocks me.

8For whenever I speak, I cry out,

I shout, 20:8 ch. 6:7“Violence and destruction!”

For 20:8 ch. 6:10the word of the Lord has become for me

20:8 Ps. 44:13; 79:4a reproach and 20:8 Ps. 44:13; 79:4derision all day long.

9If I say, “I will not mention him,

or speak any more in his name,”

20:9 Job 32:18, 19; Ps. 39:3there is in my heart as it were a burning fire

shut up in my bones,

and 20:9 ch. 6:11I am weary with holding it in,

and I cannot.

1020:10 Ps. 31:13For I hear many whispering.

20:10 See ch. 6:25Terror is on every side!

“Denounce him! 20:10 [ch. 36:16, 20] Let us denounce him!”

say all my 20:10 Ps. 41:9; 55:13; [ch. 9:4; 38:22] close friends,

20:10 [Ps. 56:6] watching for 20:10 Ps. 35:15my fall.

“Perhaps he will be deceived;

then 20:10 ch. 1:19; 5:22we can overcome him

and take our revenge on him.”

11But 20:11 See ch. 1:8the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;

therefore my persecutors will stumble;

20:11 See ch. 1:8they will not overcome me.

20:11 ch. 17:18; 23:40They will be greatly shamed,

for they will not succeed.

Their 20:11 ch. 23:40eternal dishonor

will never be forgotten.

12O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,

20:12 See ch. 11:20who sees the heart and the mind,20:12 Hebrew kidneys

let me see your vengeance upon them,

for to you have I committed my cause.

1320:13 [Ps. 35:9, 10; 109:30, 31]Sing to the Lord;

praise the Lord!

For he has delivered the life of the needy

from the hand of evildoers.

1420:14 ch. 15:10; Job 3:3Cursed be the day

on which I was born!

The day when my mother bore me,

let it not be blessed!

15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,

“A son is born to you,”

20:15 [John 16:21]making him very glad.

16Let that man be like 20:16 Gen. 19:25; Isa. 13:19the cities

that the Lord overthrew without pity;

20:16 ch. 18:22let him hear a cry in the morning

and an alarm at noon,

1720:17 [Job 3:10, 11]because he did not kill me in the womb;

so my mother would have been my grave,

and her womb forever great.

1820:18 [Job 3:20] Why did I come out from the womb

20:18 [Lam. 3:1, 2]to see toil and sorrow,

and spend my days in shame?
