Pashhur had Jeremiah the prophet (A)beaten and put him in the (B)stocks that were at the upper (C)Benjamin Gate, which was by the house of the Lord. Then on the next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Pashhur is not the name the Lord has (D)called you, but rather [a](E)Magor-missabib. For this is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I am going to make you a (F)horror to yourself and to all your friends; and while (G)your eyes look on, they will fall by the sword of their enemies. So I will (H)hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will take them away as (I)exiles to Babylon and will kill them with the sword.
