Psalms 109:9-20
9May his achildren be fatherlessand his wife a widow!
10May his children bwander about and beg,
cseeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
11May dthe creditor seize all that he has;
may estrangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12Let there be none to fextend kindness to him,
nor any to gpity his fatherless children!
13May his hposterity be cut off;
may his iname be blotted out in the second generation!
14May jthe iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be kblotted out!
15 lLet them be before the Lord continually,
that he may mcut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued nthe poor and needy
and othe brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 pHe loved to curse; let curses come ▼
▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text curses have come
upon him!He did not delight in blessing; may it be far ▼
▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it is far
from him!18He sclothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it tsoak ▼
▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it has soaked
into his body like water,like oil into his bones!
19May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20May this be the reward of my vaccusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life!
Jeremiah 11:20-23
20But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,who wtests xthe heart and the mind,
ylet me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
21Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of zAnathoth, aawho seek your life, and say, ab“Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of acAnathoth, adthe year of their punishment.”
Jeremiah 12:3
3 aeBut you, O Lord, know me;afyou see me, and test my heart toward you.
agPull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and set them apart for ahthe day of slaughter.
Jeremiah 20:1-6
Jeremiah Persecuted by Pashhur
1Now aiPashhur the priest, the son of ajImmer, who was akchief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 2Then alPashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him amin the stocks that were in the upper anBenjamin Gate of the house of the Lord. 3The next day, when aoPashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call your name apPashhur, but Terror on Every Side. 4For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you aqa terror to yourself and to all your friends. They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall strike them down with the sword. 5Moreover, arI will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its asprized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon. 6And you, atPashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, auto whom you have prophesied falsely.”Jeremiah 20:11-12
11But avthe Lord is with me as a dread warrior;therefore my persecutors will stumble;
awthey will not overcome me.
axThey will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their ayeternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
