*
Now Pashhur the priest ,
the son of Immer ,
who was chief officer in the house of the LORD ,
heard Jeremiah prophesying these things .
*
Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet ,
and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the LORD .
*
On the morrow ,
when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks ,
Jeremiah said to him , "
The LORD does not call your name Pashhur ,
but Terror on every side .
*
For thus says the LORD :
Behold ,
I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends .
They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on .
And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon ;
he shall carry them captive to Babylon ,
and shall slay them with the sword .
*
Moreover ,
I will give all the wealth of the city ,
all its gains ,
all its prized belongings ,
and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies ,
who shall plunder them ,
and seize them ,
and carry them to Babylon .
*
And you ,
Pashhur ,
and all who dwell in your house ,
shall go into captivity ;
to Babylon you shall go ;
and there you shall die ,
and there you shall be buried ,
you and all your friends ,
to whom you have prophesied falsely ."
