¹ και εγενηθη ως επαυσατο ιερεμιας λεγων προς τον λαον παντας τους λογους κυριου ους απεστειλεν αυτον κυριος προς αυτους παντας τους λογους τουτους

² και ειπεν αζαριας υιος μαασαιου και ιωαναν υιος καρηε και παντες οι ανδρες οι ειπαντες τω ιερεμια λεγοντες ψευδη ουκ απεστειλεν σε κυριος προς ημας λεγων μη εισελθητε εις αιγυπτον οικειν εκει

³ αλλ' η βαρουχ υιος νηριου συμβαλλει σε προς ημας ινα δως ημας εις χειρας των χαλδαιων του θανατωσαι ημας και αποικισθηναι ημας εις βαβυλωνα

⁴ και ουκ ηκουσεν ιωαναν και παντες οι ηγεμονες της δυναμεως και πας ο λαος της φωνης κυριου κατοικησαι εν γη ιουδα

⁵ και ελαβεν ιωαναν και παντες οι ηγεμονες της δυναμεως παντας τους καταλοιπους ιουδα τους αποστρεψαντας κατοικειν εν τη γη

⁶ τους δυνατους ανδρας και τας γυναικας και τα νηπια και τας θυγατερας του βασιλεως και τας ψυχας ας κατελιπεν ναβουζαρδαν μετα γοδολιου υιου αχικαμ και ιερεμιαν τον προφητην και βαρουχ υιον νηριου

⁷ και εισηλθον εις αιγυπτον οτι ουκ ηκουσαν της φωνης κυριου και εισηλθον εις ταφνας

⁸ και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς ιερεμιαν εν ταφνας λεγων

⁹ λαβε σεαυτω λιθους μεγαλους και κατακρυψον αυτους εν προθυροις εν πυλη της οικιας φαραω εν ταφνας κατ' οφθαλμους ανδρων ιουδα

¹⁰ και ερεις ουτως ειπεν κυριος ιδου εγω αποστελλω και αξω ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεα βαβυλωνος και θησει αυτου τον θρονον επανω των λιθων τουτων ων κατεκρυψας και αρει τα οπλα αυτου επ' αυτους

¹¹ και εισελευσεται και παταξει γην αιγυπτου ους εις θανατον εις θανατον και ους εις αποικισμον εις αποικισμον και ους εις ρομφαιαν εις ρομφαιαν

¹² και καυσει πυρ εν οικιαις θεων αυτων και εμπυριει αυτας και αποικιει αυτους και φθειριει γην αιγυπτου ωσπερ φθειριζει ποιμην το ιματιον αυτου και εξελευσεται εν ειρηνη

¹³ και συντριψει τους στυλους ηλιου πολεως τους εν ων και τας οικιας αυτων κατακαυσει εν πυρι

²⁶ και ανεστη πας ο λαος απο μικρου και εως μεγαλου και οι αρχοντες των δυναμεων και εισηλθον εις αιγυπτον οτι εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου των χαλδαιων

¹ Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

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 Yahweh.

³ It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.

⁴ For thus says Yahweh, 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.

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.

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.

⁷ Yahweh, 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.

⁸ For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.

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].

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 shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

¹¹ But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.

¹² But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

¹³ Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

¹⁴ Cursed is the day in which I was born: don't let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

¹⁵ Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.

¹⁶ Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn't repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

¹⁷ because he didn't kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

¹⁸ Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
