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 Pashhur set me free. I said to him, "The LORD's name for you isn't Pashhur. It's Magor-Missabib. That name means Terror on Every Side.

4 "The LORD says to you, 'I will make you a terror to yourself. You will also be a terror to all of your friends. With your own eyes you will see them die. Their enemies will kill them with swords. I will hand all of the people of Judah over to the king of Babylonia. He will carry them away to Babylonia or kill them with swords.

5 " 'I will hand all of the wealth of this city over to Judah's enemies. I will give them all of its products and everything of value. I will turn over to them all of the treasures that belonged to the kings of Judah. They will take those things and carry them off to Babylon.

6 " 'Pashhur, you and everyone who lives in your house will also be forced to go there. You have prophesied lies to all of your friends. So all of you will die in Babylonia. And that's where your bodies will be buried.' "

7 Lord, you tricked me, and I was tricked. You overpowered me and won. People make fun of me all day long. Everyone laughs at me.
