Jeremiah 20:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 20:6

4 For thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will ^agive all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword.

5 Moreover I ^awill deliver all the wealth of this city, all its produce, and all its precious things; all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, who will plunder them, seize them, and ^bcarry them to Babylon.

6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. You shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have ^aprophesied lies.’ ”

7 O Lord, You¹ induced me, and I was persuaded;
^aYou are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
^bI am¹ in derision daily;
Everyone mocks me.

8 For when I spoke, I cried out;
^aI shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
Because the word of the Lord was made to me
A reproach and a derision daily.
