Psalms 109:9-20
May his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.May his children wander about and beg; And may they seek sustenance far from their ruined homes.May the creditor seize everything that he has, And may strangers plunder the product of his labor.May there be none to extend kindness to him, Nor any to be gracious to his fatherless children.May his descendants be eliminated; May their name be wiped out in a following generation.May the guilt of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, And do not let the sin of his mother be wiped out.May they be before the Lord continually, So that He may eliminate their memory from the earth;Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the afflicted and needy person, And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered his body like water, And like oil into his bones.May it be to him as a garment with which he covers himself, And as a belt which he constantly wears around himself.May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, And of those who speak evil against my soul.

But, Lord of armies, who judges righteously, Who puts the feelings and the heart to the test, Let me see Your vengeance on them, For to You I have committed my cause.Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying:“ Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, so that you do not die by our hand”;therefore, this is what the Lord of armies says:“ Behold, I am going to punish them! The young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters will die by famine;and a remnant will not be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth— the year of their punishment.”

Jeremiah 20:1-6
When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief overseer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,Pashhur had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put him in the stocks that were at the upper Benjamin Gate, which was by the house of the Lord.Then on the next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him,“ Pashhur is not the name the Lord has called you, but rather Magor missabib.For this is what the Lord says:‘ Behold, I am going to make you a horror to yourself and to all your friends; and while your eyes look on, they will fall by the sword of their enemies. So I will hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will take them away as exiles to Babylon and will kill them with the sword.I will also give all the wealth of this city, all its produce and all its valuable things— even all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will hand over to their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them away, and bring them to Babylon.And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity; and you will enter Babylon, and there you will die and there you will be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have falsely prophesied.’ ”
