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.’”

The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib,[a] for this is what the Lord says, ‘I am about to make you a terror to both yourself and those you love.(A) They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon and put them to the sword. I will give away all the wealth of this city, all its products(B) and valuables. Indeed, I will hand all the treasures of the kings of Judah over to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon. As for you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, you will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. There you will die, and there you will be buried, you and all your friends that you prophesied falsely(C) to.’”
