20 And_he/it _listened Fashḩūr the _son _of ʼImmēr the_priest/officer and_he [was]_an _overseer a _chief in_house _of YHWH DOM Yirmə^yāh prophesying DOM the_things the_these.
2 And_ Fashḩūr _beaten DOM Yirmə^yāh the_prophet and_he/it _gave DOM_him/it on the_stocks which in/on/at/with_gate _of Binyāmīn the_upper which in_house _of YHWH.
3 And_he/it _was on_next _day and_ Fashḩūr _released DOM Yirmə^yāh from the_stocks and_he/it _said to_him/it Yirmə^yāh not Fashḩūr he _has _called YHWH your(ms)_name if/because (if) Magor- from_all _around.
4 if/because thus YHWH he _says see_I make _of_you[fn] as_terror to/for_yourself(m) and_to/for_all friends _of_your and_fall in/on/at/with_sword _of enemies _of_their and_eyes _of_your [will _be]_seeing and_DOM all _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I _will _give in/on/at/with_hand _of the _king _of Bāⱱel and_deport_them Bāⱱel_to and_put_them in/on/at/with_sword.
5 And_give DOM all _of the _wealth _of the_city the_this and_DOM all _of products _of_its and_DOM every _of valuables _of_its and_DOM all _of the _treasures _of the _kings _of Yəhūdāh I _will _give in/on/at/with_hand _of enemies _of_their and_plunder_them and_seize_them and_carry _off_them Bāⱱel_to.
6 And_you(ms) Oh _Fashḩūr and_all/each/any/every [those _who]_dwell _of house _of_your you _all _will _go in/on/at/with_captivity and_Bāⱱel you _will _go and_there you _will _die and_there you _will _be _buried you and_all friends _of_your whom you _prophesied to/for_them in/on/at/with_lies.
7 deceived_me Oh_YHWH and_deceived overpowered_me and_prevailed I _have _become for_laughingstock all _of the_day everyone _of_him [is]_mocking to_me.
8 If/because from_sufficiency I _speak I _cry _out violence and_destruction I _proclaim if/because the _word _of it _has _become of_YHWH to_me for_reproach and_for_derision all _of the_day.
9 And_say not mention_him and_not I _will _speak again in/on/at/with_name _of_his and_it _was in/on/at/with_heart _of_my like_fire burning shut _up in/on/at/with_bones _of_my and_weary to _hold _[it]_in and_not I _will _be _able.
10 If/because I _have _heard [the]_whispering _of many _[people] terror on_all _around tell and_denounce_him every _of (the)_person _of trusted _of_my [are]_watching _of fall _of_my perhaps he _will _be _deceived and_prevail to_him/it and_take revenge _of_our on_him.
11 And_YHWH with_me like_warrior ruthless on/upon/above/on _account _of//he/it _went _in yes/correct/thus/so persecutors _of_my they _will _stumble and_not they _will _prevail they _will _be _ashamed exceedingly if/because not they _will _succeed ignominy _of perpetuity not it _will _be _forgotten.
12 And_LORD hosts [who]_tests [the]_righteous [who]_sees kidneys and_mind let _me _see vengeance _of_your from_them if/because to_you I _have _made _known DOM cause _of_my.
13 sing to/for_YHWH praise DOM YHWH if/because he _has _delivered DOM [the]_life _of [the]_needy from_hand _of evil-doers.
14 [be]_cursed the_day when I _was _born in/on/over_him/it [the]_day when bore_me mother _of_my not let _it _be blessed.
15 [be]_cursed the_man who he _bore _the _news DOM father _of_my to_say he _has _been _born to/for_yourself(m) a _son a _male greatly _(make _rejoice) he _made _glad_him.
16 And_it _was the_man (the)_that like _the_cities which YHWH he _overthrew and_not he _had _compassion and_hear a _cry _of _distress in/on/at/with_morning and_alarm in/on/at/with_time _of noon(s).
17 That not kill_me in_womb and_it _became to_me mother _of_my grave _of_my and_womb _of_her [was]_pregnant _of perpetuity.
18 To/for_what this from_womb did _I _come _forth to_see trouble and_sorrow and_end in/on/at/with_shame days _of_my.
