The passage opens with a narrative episode in which the priest Pashur has Jeremiah beaten and placed in stocks, after which Jeremiah delivers an oracle renaming him \"Magor-missabib\" (Terror on Every Side) and prophesying that Pashur, his associates, and all Judah will be carried captive to Babylon. This is followed by one of Jeremiah's most emotionally raw \"Confessions\" \u2014 a sustained lament in which he accuses God of having deceived and overpowered him, describes the word of the Lord as an unquenchable fire he cannot suppress, and reports that even his closest companions are plotting against him. The passage swings abruptly between trust (\"the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior\") and despair, ending with a bitter curse on the day of his birth and a cry of existential futility. The distinctive scholarly value of the text lies in its side-by-side presentation of all four major textual traditions, allowing comparison of translation choices and divergences \u2014 notably, the Septuagint's rendering of Pashur's new name as \"exile\" (\u03bc\u03ad\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03bd) rather than \"terror on every side,\" and subtle differences in the lament's emotional register across traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 20","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1786}
