Jeremiah 20:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 20:5

Moreover, I will deliver all the strength of this city
The fortifications of it; its towers, as the Syriac version; the riches of it, as the Targum; all its magazines and stores, in which its strength lay: and all the labours thereof;
all the fruit of their labours; all their wealth and riches got by labour; all their goods in trade; all their manufactures and merchandise: and all the precious things thereof;
all their plate and jewels, the rich furniture of their houses, and whatsoever was laid up in their treasures as rare and valuable: and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand
of their enemies;
which they in successive reigns had been laying up in store for years together; see ( Isaiah 39:6 ) ; which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon;
make a prey of them, seize them as their property, and carry them away with them.

Jeremiah 20:5 In-Context

3 The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib,
4 for this is what the Lord says, 'I am about to make you a terror to both yourself and those you love. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon and put them to the sword.
5 I will give away all the wealth of this city, all its products and valuables. Indeed, I will hand all the treasures of the kings of Judah over to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
6 As for you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, you will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. There you will die, and there you will be buried, you and all your friends that you prophesied falsely to.' "
7 You deceived me, Lord, and I was deceived. You seized me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all the time; everyone ridicules me.
