¹Now Pash’chur [freedom] the son of Immer [he has said] the priest, who [was] also chief governor in the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , heard that Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] prophesied these things.

²Then Pash’chur [freedom] struck Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet, and put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] , which [was] by the house of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

³And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pash’chur [freedom] brought forth Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] out of the stocks. Then said Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] unto him, The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has not called youri name Pash’chur [freedom] , but Magor-Missaviv [terror on every side] .

⁴For thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , Behold, I will make youi a terror to yourself, and to all youri friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and youi eyes shall behold [it] : and I will give all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] into the hand of the king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] , and he shall carry them captive into Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] , and shall slay them with the sword.

⁵Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil (plunder; prey; booty) them, and take them, and carry them to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] .

⁶And youi , Pash’chur [freedom] , and all that dwell in youri house shall go into captivity: and youi shall come to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] , and there youi shall die, and shall be buried there, youi , and all youri friends, to whom youi have prophesied lies.

⁷O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , youi have deceived me, and I was deceived: youi are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) daily, everyone mocks me.

⁸For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil (plunder; prey; booty) ; because the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was made a reproach (disgrace; shame) unto me, and a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats), daily.

⁹Then 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] .

¹⁰For 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] , Perhaps he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

¹¹But the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] with me as a mighty terrible one: 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 forgotten.

¹²But, O Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] , that try the righteous, [and] see the reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) and the heart, let me see youri vengeance on them: for unto youi have I opened my cause.

¹³Sing unto the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , praise you2f the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : for he has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

¹⁴Cursed [be] the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bore me be Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) .

¹⁵Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto youi ; making him very glad.

¹⁶And let that man be as the cities which the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

¹⁷Because he killed me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb [to be] always great [with me] .

¹⁸For what reason came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
