Jeremías 20
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 El sacerdote Pasur, hijo de Imer, oficial principal de la casa de Jehová, oyó a Jeremías profetizar estas palabras. 2 Pasur golpeó al profeta Jeremías y lo puso en el cepo que había en la puerta superior de Benjamín, en la casa de Jehová. 3 Al día siguiente, Pasur sacó a Jeremías del cepo. Jeremías le dijo: «Jehová no te llama Pasur, sino Magor-misabib. 4 Porque así dice Jehová: “Voy a convertirte en terror para ti mismo y para todos tus amigos. Caerán por la espada de sus enemigos, y tus ojos lo verán. Entregaré a todo Judá en manos del rey de Babilonia, que los llevará cautivos a Babilonia y los matará a espada. 5 Entregaré todas las riquezas de esta ciudad, todos sus productos y todas sus cosas preciosas; entregaré todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá en manos de sus enemigos, que los saquearán, los tomarán y los llevarán a Babilonia. 6 Y tú, Pasur, junto con todos los que habitan en tu casa, irás al cautiverio. Llegarás a Babilonia, allí morirás y allí serás enterrado, tú y todos tus amigos a quienes profetizaste mentira”». 7 Me sedujiste, Jehová, y me dejé seducir; fuiste más fuerte que yo y prevaleciste. Soy motivo de risa todo el día; todos se burlan de mí. 8 Cada vez que hablo, grito; proclamo: «¡Violencia y destrucción!». La palabra de Jehová se ha convertido para mí en afrenta y burla todo el día. 9 Si digo: «No lo mencionaré ni hablaré más en su nombre», hay en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente encerrado en mis huesos. Me fatigo tratando de contenerlo y no puedo. 10 He oído las murmuraciones de muchos: «¡Terror por todas partes! ¡Denúncienlo, vamos a denunciarlo!». Todos mis amigos vigilan mis tropiezos: «Quizá se deje seducir; prevaleceremos contra él y nos vengaremos de él». 11 Pero Jehová está conmigo como un guerrero temible. Por eso mis perseguidores tropezarán y no prevalecerán. Quedarán muy avergonzados porque no tendrán éxito; su deshonra será eterna, no se olvidará. 12 Jehová de los ejércitos, que pruebas al justo, que ves los sentimientos y el corazón, déjame ver tu venganza contra ellos, porque ante ti he expuesto mi causa. 13 ¡Canten a Jehová, alaben a Jehová, porque ha librado la vida del pobre de manos de los malvados! 14 Maldito el día en que nací; que no sea bendito el día en que mi madre me dio a luz. 15 Maldito el hombre que anunció a mi padre: «¡Te ha nacido un hijo varón!», llenándolo de alegría. 16 Que ese hombre sea como las ciudades que Jehová derribó sin desistir. Que oiga gritos por la mañana y alaridos de guerra al mediodía, 17 porque no me mató en el vientre; así mi madre habría sido mi sepulcro y su vientre habría quedado embarazado para siempre. 18 ¿Por qué salí del vientre para ver fatiga y dolor, y que mis días se consuman en vergüenza?

Jeremías 20:1
Jr 20:1-18. Jeremiah's Incarceration by Pashur, the Principal Officer of the Temple, for Prophesying within Its Precincts; His Renewed Predictions against the City, &c., ON His Liberation.
1. son--descendant.
of Immer--one of the original "governors of the sanctuary and of the house of God," twenty-four in all, that is, sixteen of the sons of Eleazar and eight of the sons of Ithamar (1Ch 24:14). This Pashur is distinct from Pashur, son of Melchiah (Jr 21:1). The "captains" (Lu 22:4) seem to have been over the twenty-four guards of the temple, and had only the right of apprehending any who were guilty of delinquency within it; but the Sanhedrim had the judicial power over such delinquents [Grotius] (Jr 26:8, 10, 16).
Jeremías 20:2
2. The fact that Pashur was of the same order and of the same family as Jeremiah aggravates the indignity of the blow (1Ki 22:24; Mt 26:67).
stocks--an instrument of torture with five holes, in which the neck, two hands, and two feet were thrust, the body being kept in a crooked posture (Jr 29:26). From a Hebrew root, to "turn," or "rack." This marks Pashur's cruelty.
high--that is, the upper gate (2Ki 15:35).
gate of Benjamin--a gate in the temple wall, corresponding to the gate of Benjamin, properly so called, in the city wall, in the direction of the territory of Benjamin (Jr 7:2; 37:13; 38:7). The temple gate of Benjamin, being on a lofty position, was called "the high gate," to distinguish it from the city wall gate of Benjamin.
Jeremías 20:3
Jeremías 20:4
4. terror ... to all thy friends--who have believed thy false promises (Jr 20:6). The sense must be in order to accord with "fear round about" (Jr 20:3). I will bring terror on thee and on all thy friends, that terror arising from thyself, namely, thy false prophecies. Thou and thy prophecies will be seen, to the dismay both of thee and thy dupes, to have caused their ruin and thine. Maurer's translation is therefore not needed, "I will give up thee and all thy friends to terror."
Jeremías 20:5
5. strength--that is, resources.
labours--fruits of labor, gain, wealth.
Jeremías 20:6
Jeremías 20:7
7. Jeremiah's complaint, not unlike that of Job, breathing somewhat of human infirmity in consequence of his imprisonment. Thou didst promise never to give me up to the will of mine enemies, and yet Thou hast done so. But Jeremiah misunderstood God's promise, which was not that he should have nothing to suffer, but that God would deliver him out of sufferings (Jr 1:19).
deceived--Others translate as Margin, "Thou hast enticed" or "persuaded me," namely, to undertake the prophetic office, "and I was persuaded," that is, suffered myself to be persuaded to undertake what I find too hard for me. So the Hebrew word is used in a good sense (Ge 9:27, Margin; Pr 25:15; Ho 2:14).
stronger than I--Thou whose strength I could not resist hast laid this burden on me, and hast prevailed (hast made me prophesy, in spite of my reluctance) (Jr 1:5-7); yet, when I exercise my office, I am treated with derision (La 3:14).
Jeremías 20:8
8. Rather, "Whenever I speak, I cry out. Concerning violence and spoil, I (am compelled to) cry out," that is, complain [Maurer]. English Version in the last clause is more graphic, "I cried violence and spoil" (Jr 6:7)! I could not speak in a calm tone; their desperate wickedness compelled me to "cry out."
because--rather, "therefore," the apodosis of the previous sentence; because in discharging my prophetic functions, I not merely spake, but cried; and cried, violence ... ; therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproach to me (Jr 20:7).
Jeremías 20:9
Jeremías 20:10
10. For--not referring to the words immediately preceding, but to "I will not make mention of Him." The "defaming" or detraction of the enemy on every side (see Psa 31:13) tempted him to think of prophesying no more.
Report ... we will report--The words of his adversaries one to the other; give any information against him (true or false) which will give color for accusing him; and "we will report it," namely, to the Sanhedrim, in order to crush him.
familiars--literally, "men of my peace"; those who pretended to be on peaceable terms with me (Psa 41:9). Jeremiah is a type of Messiah, referred to in that Psalm. (See Jr 38:22; Job 19:19; Psa 55:13, 14; Lu 11:53, 54).
watched for my halting--(Psa 35:15, Margin, "halting"; Psa 38:17; 71:10, Margin). Gesenius not so well translates, according to Arabic idiom, "those guarding my side" (that is, my most intimate friends always at my side), in apposition to "familiars," and the subject of "say" (instead of "saying"). The Hebrew means properly "side," then "halting," as the halt bend on one side.
enticed--to commit some sin.
Jeremías 20:11
Jeremías 20:12
Jeremías 20:13
13. delivered ... soul--This deliverance took place when Zedekiah succeeded Jeconiah.
Jeremías 20:14-18
14-18. The contrast between the spirit of this passage and the preceding thanksgiving is to be explained thus: to show how great was the deliverance (Jr 20:13), he subjoins a picture of what his wounded spirit had been previous to his deliverance; I had said in the time of my imprisonment, "Cursed be the day"; my feeling was that of Job (Job 3:3, 10, 11, whose words Jeremiah therefore copies). Though Jeremiah's zeal had been stirred up, not so much for self as for God's honor trampled on by the rejection of the prophet's words, yet it was intemperate when he made his birth a subject for cursing, which was really a ground for thanksgiving.
