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.’”

  1. Jeremiah 20:3 I.e., horror on every side

The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from confinement, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord has changed your name from Pashhur to Panic Lurks Everywhere. The Lord proclaims: I’m going to strike panic into your heart and into the hearts of your friends. You will watch as they fall in battle to their enemies. I will hand over all Judah to the king of Babylon, who will exile some to Babylon and slaughter others. I will hand over all the wealth of this city, all its goods and valuables, including the treasures of the kings of Judah, to their enemies, who will ransack and pillage and carry it all off to Babylon. And you, Pashhur, and all those in your household, will go into captivity. You will be deported to Babylon where you will die. There you will be buried with all your friends to whom you prophesied falsely.”
