“And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.”
King James Version (KJV)
20:7 Hast prevailed - Thou prevailedst against me. Jeremiah at first excused himself to God, chap.#1:6|, but the Lord prevailed against him replying, ver.#1:7|, Say not, I am a child, for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak, ver.#1:9|. This is all that is here meant, namely, God's over - ruling him contrary to his own inclinations.
20:8 Since - Since I first began to be a prophet, I have faithfully discharged my office, and that with warmth and zeal. Spoil - I have prophesied that violence and spoil was coming. Because - Because of that scorn and derision with which they treated him.
