everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss
because of all the plagues of it.
019:009 I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and
the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone
the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress,
with which their enemies, and those who seek their life,
shall distress them.
019:010 Then shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men
who go with you,
019:011 and shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Even so will I
break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel,
that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth,
until there be no place to bury.
019:012 Thus will I do to this place, says Yahweh, and to the inhabitants
of it, even making this city as Topheth:
019:013 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings
of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth,
even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense
to all the army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings
to other gods.
019:014 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him
to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yahweh's house,
and said to all the people:
019:015 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, Behold, I will
bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have
pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff,
that they may not hear my words.
020:001 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer
in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
020:002 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.
020:003 It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him,
Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
020:004 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.
020:005 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains
of it, 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.
020:006 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 shall you be buried, you, and all your friends,
