Now it happened that on the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him, “Pashhur is not the name Yahweh has (A)called you, but rather [a](B)Magor-missabib. For thus says Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am going to make you a (C)terror to yourself and to all your friends; and while (D)your eyes look on, they will fall by the sword of their enemies. So I will (E)give over all Judah to the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away into (F)exile to Babylon and will strike them down with the sword. I will also give over all the (G)wealth of this city, all the fruit of its labor, and all its precious things; even all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give over to the (H)hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them away, and bring them to Babylon. And you, (I)Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity; and you will enter Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you and all your (J)friends to whom you have (K)prophesied lies.’”

  1. Jeremiah 20:3 Lit terror on every side

The next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah told him, “The Lord has not named you Pashhur, but rather Magor-missabib.[a] For this is what the Lord says: ‘Look, I’m going to make you a terror to yourself and to all your loved ones. They’ll fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I’ll give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will take them into exile to Babylon, and he will execute them with swords. I’ll turn over all the wealth of this city, all its possessions, all its valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah right into the hands of their enemies, and they’ll plunder them, capture them, and take them to Babylon. You, Pashhur, and all those living in your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and there you will die. There you and all your loved ones[b] to whom you have falsely prophesied will be buried.’”
