Jeremías 20:4

4 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí yo te pondré en espanto a ti, y a todos los que bien te quieren, y caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán; y a todo Judá entregaré en mano del rey de Babilonia, y los transportará a Babilonia, y los herirá a espada

Jeremías 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 20:4

For thus saith the, Lord, behold, I will make thee a terror to
thyself, and to all thy friends
This is an interpretation of the name given, "Magormissabib": and shows that it was not a mere name he had, but that he should be in fact what that signifies; his conscience should be filled with terror at the judgments of God coming upon him for his sins; and which could not be concealed in his own breast from others, but he should be seized with such tremblings and shakings, and be such a spectacle of horror, that his own familiar friends, instead of delighting in his company, would shun it, and run away from him: unless this terror is to be understood of the Chaldean army, which should not only terrify him, but his friends, in whom he placed his confidence; these would be thrown into such a consternation, as not to be able to help him or themselves; to which the following words agree: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes
shall behold [it];
which would be an aggravation of the calamity, that not only he should be deprived of their assistance, but that they should fall into and by the hands of the Babylonians, and in his sight also: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon;
the whole land, and the inhabitants of it: and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with
the sword;
being in his hands, he shall do as he pleases with them, either carry them captive, or slay them; and some he will dispose of one way, and some another.

Jeremías 20:4 In-Context

2 E hirió Pasur a Jeremías profeta, y lo puso en el calabozo que estaba a la puerta de Benjamín en lo alto, la cual está en la casa del SEÑOR

3 Y el día siguiente Pasur sacó a Jeremías del calabozo. Y le dijo Jeremías: El SEÑOR no ha llamado tu nombre Pasur {Heb. Prosperidad alrededor}, sino Magor-misabib (Heb. Miedo de todas partes).

4 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí yo te pondré en espanto a ti, y a todos los que bien te quieren, y caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán; y a todo Judá entregaré en mano del rey de Babilonia, y los transportará a Babilonia, y los herirá a espada

5 Y daré toda la sustancia de esta ciudad, y todo su trabajo, y todas sus cosas preciosas; y todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá daré en manos de sus enemigos, y los saquearán, y los tomarán, y los llevarán a Babilonia

6 Y tú, Pasur, y todos los moradores de tu casa iréis cautivos, y entrarás en Babilonia, y allí morirás, y allá serás enterrado, tú, y todos los que bien te quieren, a los cuales has profetizado con mentira
