1When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
“Pasher, the son of Imre the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.”
2he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
“Then Pasher smote 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.”
“Then pastor smote Jeremiah, the prophet, and put him in the stalks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.”
“Pasher smoked Jeremiah the prophet and put him in stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.”
3The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

4For this is what the LORD says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
“for thus saith the Lord behold I will make thee a terror to thyself and to all your friends and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies and thine eyes shall behold it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of…”
5I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
“Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city and all the labors thereof and all of the precious things thereof and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies which shall spoil…”
6And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon, and there you will die and be buried—you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied these lies.'"

7You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
“O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived. Thou art stronger than I and has prevailed. I am in derision daily. Everyone mocketh me.”
8For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.
“For since I speak I cried out I cried violence and spoil because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me and a derision daily.”
“For when I spoke, I cried out, I shouted violence and plunder because the word of the Lord was made to me, a reproach and a derision daily.”
“For since I speak, I cried out. I cried violence and spoil because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me and a derision daily.”
“Whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout. Violence and destruction. For the Word of the Lord has become for me a reproach and derision all the day long.”
“For since I speak, I cried out. I cried violent and spoiled because the word of the Lord has made a reproach unto me. I'm in derision daily.”
9If I say, "I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name," His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
“Then I said, I will not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.”
“Then I said, I will not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I was weary with forbearing and I could not”
“if I say I will not mention him or speak any more in his name, there is in my heart, as it were, a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I'm weary with holding it in, and I cannot”
“Then I said, I'll not make mention of him nor speak any more in his name, for his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not say.”
“Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name but his word was in my heart. His word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay.”
10For I have heard the whispering of many: "Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!" All my trusted friends watch for my fall: "Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him."
“For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, peradventure, he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take…”
11But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
“But the Lord is with me as a mighty, terrible one, and therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed, for they shall not prosper. Their everlasting confusion shall never be…”
12O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
“But O Lord of hosts that tries the righteous and sees the reins of the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them. For unto thee have I opened my cause.”
“But oh Lord of hosts that tried the righteous and sees the rains in the hearts. Let me see thy vengeance on them. For unto thee have I opened my cause.”
13Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
“Sing unto the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. For he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of the evildoers.”
“Sing unto the Lord. Praise ye the Lord for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of the evildoer.”
“Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord, for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.”
14Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
“Cursed be the day wherein I was born. Let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.”
15Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, "A son is born to you," bringing him great joy.
“Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father saying a man child is born unto thee making him very glad.”
“Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee, making him very glad.”
16May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,
“and let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew and repented not. And let him hear the cry of the morning and the shouting at noontide”
17because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
“because he slew me not from the womb or that my mother might have been my grave and her womb to be always great with me.”
18Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
“Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to just see labor and sorrow that my day should be consumed with shame.”
“Why did I come forth out of the womb to see the labor and sorrow that my days should be consumed with shame.”
“Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labored and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame.”
