3 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. 4 For thus says the Lord, ‘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 carry them away as (F)exiles to Babylon and will slay them with the sword. 5 I will also give over all the (G)wealth of this city, all its produce and all its costly 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. 6 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.’”
