Jeremiah 20:5

5 And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious items, and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, and they will seize them, and they will bring them [to] Babylon.

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 then} on the next day, when Pashhur brought Jeremiah out from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "Yahweh will not call your name Pashhur, {but} Terror From All Around.

4 For thus says Yahweh, 'Look, I [am] making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes [will be] seeing [it]. And all Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will deport them [to] Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.

5 And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious items, and all of the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, and they will seize them, and they will bring them [to] Babylon.

6 And you, Pashhur, and all [those who] live [in] your house will go into captivity, and you will go [to] Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends to whom you have prophesied {falsely}.'"

7 You have persuaded me, [O] Yahweh, and I was persuaded. You have overpowered me, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day [long]. {Everyone} [is] mocking me.
