Then on the next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Pashhur is not the name the Lord has (A)called you, but rather [a](B)Magor-missabib.

So I will (E)hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will take them away as (F)exiles to Babylon and will kill them with the sword. I will also give all the (G)wealth of this city, all its produce and all its valuable things—even all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will (H)hand over to their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them away, and bring them to Babylon.
