[HNV] Jeremiah 19, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 19
{19:1} Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle,
and take some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the
priests; {19:2} and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which
is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that
I shall tell you; {19:3} and say, Hear the word of the LORD, kings of
Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the LORD of Hosts, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever
hears, his ears shall tingle. {19:4} Because they have forsaken me,
and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other
gods, that they didn't know, they and their fathers and the kings of
Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents, {19:5}
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire
for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn't command, nor spoke it,
neither came it into my mind: {19:6} therefore, behold, the days come,
says the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor
The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. {19:7} I
will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I
will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the
hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give
to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
{19:8} I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone
who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its
plagues. {19:9} I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and
the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of
his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their
enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them. {19:10}
Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with
you, {19:11} and shall tell them, Thus says the LORD of Hosts: Even so
will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's
vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in
Topheth, until there is no place to bury. {19:12} Thus will I do to
this place, says the LORD, and to its inhabitants, even making this
city as Topheth: {19:13} and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of
Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense
to all the army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to
other gods. {19:14} Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where the LORD
had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's
house, and said to all the people: {19:15} Thus says the LORD of
Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring on this city and on all
its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they
have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
{20:1} Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief
officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these
things. {20:2} Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him
in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in
the house of the LORD. {20:3} It happened on the next day, that
Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said
to him, the LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
{20:4} 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; and I will give all Judah
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. {20:5} Moreover I will
give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the
precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah
will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a
prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. {20:6} You, Pashhur,
and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall
come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be
buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied
falsely. {20:7} LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you
are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock
all the day, every one mocks me. {20:8} For as often as I speak, I cry
out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of the LORD is
made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. {20:9} If I say, I
will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't. {20:10} For I have heard
the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will
denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my
fall; perhaps he will be

to him, the LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
{20:4} 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; and I will give all Judah
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. {20:5} Moreover I will
give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the
precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah
will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a
prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. {20:6} You, Pashhur,
and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall
come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be
buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied
falsely. {20:7} LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you
are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock
all the day, every one mocks me. {20:8} For as often as I speak, I cry
out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of the LORD is
made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. {20:9} If I say, I
will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't [contain]. {20:10} For I
have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and
we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, those who watch
for my fall; perhaps he
[HNV] Jeremiah 19, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
Jeremiah, starting at chapter 19
{19:1} Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle,
and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the
priests; {19:2} and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which
is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that
I shall tell you; {19:3} and say, Hear you the word of the LORD, kings
of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the LORD of Hosts,
the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which
whoever hears, his ears shall tingle. {19:4} Because they have
forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in
it to other gods, that they didn't know, they and their fathers and
the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of
innocents, {19:5} and have built the high places of Baal, to burn
their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I didn't
command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind: {19:6} therefore,
behold, the days come, says the LORD, that this place shall no more be
called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of
Slaughter. {19:7} I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem
in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their
enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead
bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the
animals of the earth. {19:8} I will make this city an astonishment,
and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and
hiss because of all its plagues. {19:9} I will cause them to eat the
flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall
eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the
distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life,
shall distress them. {19:10} Then you shall break the bottle in the
sight of the men who go with you, {19:11} and shall tell them, Thus
says the LORD of Hosts: Even so will I break this people and this
city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again;
and they shall bury in Topheth, until there be no place to bury.
{19:12} Thus will I do to this place, says the LORD, and to its
inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth: {19:13} and the houses
of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled,
shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs
they have burned incense to all the army of the sky, and have poured
out drink offerings to other gods. {19:14} Then came Jeremiah from
Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the
court of the LORD's house, and said to all the people: {19:15} Thus
says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring on
this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced
against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not
hear my words.
{20:1} Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief
officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these
things. {20:2} Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him
in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in
the house of the LORD. {20:3} It happened on the next day, that
Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah
to him, the LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
{20:4} 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; and I will give all Judah
into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. {20:5} Moreover I will
give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the
precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah
will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a
prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. {20:6} You, Pashhur,
and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall
come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be
buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied
falsely. {20:7} LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you
are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock
all the day, every one mocks me. {20:8} For as often as I speak, I cry
out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of the LORD is
made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day. {20:9} If I say, I
will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't [contain]. {20:10} For I
