5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Lord, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded.You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.I have become a laughing-stock all day.Everyone mocks me.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out;I cry, “Violence and destruction!”because the Lord’s word has been made a reproach to me,and a derision, all day.
9 If I say, I will not make mention of him,or 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 holding it in,and I can’t.
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 persuaded,and we will prevail against him,and we will take our revenge on him.”
11 But the Lord is with me as an awesome mighty one.Therefore my persecutors will stumble,and they won’t prevail.They will be utterly disappointed,because they have not dealt wisely,even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
