Jeremiah 20:1-6

Jeremiah Persecuted by Pashhur

1 Now ^aPashhur the priest, the son of ^bImmer, who was ^cchief officer in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. 2 Then ^dPashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him ^ein the stocks that were in the upper ^fBenjamin Gate of the house of the Lord. 3 The next day, when ^gPashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord does not call your name ^hPashhur, but Terror on Every Side. 4 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will make you ⁱa 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 strike them down with the sword. 5 Moreover, ^jI will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its ^kprized 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. 6 And you, ^lPashhur, 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, ^mto whom you have prophesied falsely.”
