For thussaith the LORD, Behold, I willmakethee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and theyshallfall by the sword of theirenemies, and thineeyesshallbehold it: and I willgive all Judahinto the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shallcarrythemcaptiveintoBabylon, and shallslaythemwith the sword.
Moreover I willdeliver all the strength of thiscity, and all the laboursthereof, and all the preciousthingsthereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judahwill I giveinto the hand of theirenemies, whichshallspoilthem, and takethem, and carrythem to Babylon.
And thou, Pashur, and all thatdwell in thinehouseshall go intocaptivity: and thoushaltcome to Babylon, and therethoushalt die, and shalt be buriedthere, thou, and all thy friends, to whomthouhastprophesiedlies.
Then I said, I will not makemention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mineheart as a burningfireshut up in my bones, and I was wearywithforbearing, and I could not stay.
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on everyside. Report, say they, and we willreport it. All my familiarswatched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shallprevailagainst him, and we shalltake our revenge on him.
But the LORD is with me as a mightyterrible one: therefore my persecutorsshallstumble, and theyshall not prevail: theyshall be greatlyashamed; for theyshall not prosper: theireverlastingconfusionshallnever be forgotten.
But, O LORD of hosts, thattriest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for untotheehave I opened my cause.
