Jeremiah 20:5

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 And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.

4 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.

5 And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and 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 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.

7 Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me.
