On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.[a] For Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword. Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon. You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”

  1. 20:3 “Magormissabib” means “surrounded by terror”

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. For this is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I am going to make you a (C)horror 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)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. 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)falsely prophesied.’”
