1 Pashhur son of Immer was a priest and the chief of temple security. He heard what I had said,
2 and so he hit me. Then he had me arrested and put in chains at the Benjamin Gate in the Lord's temple.
3 The next day, when Pashhur let me go free, I told him that the Lord had said:No longer will I call you Pashhur. Instead, I will call you Afraid-of-Everything.
4 You will be afraid, and you will bring fear to your friends as well. You will see enemies kill them in battle. Then I will let the king of Babylonia take everyone in Judah prisoner, killing some and dragging the rest away to Babylonia.
5 He will clean out the royal treasury and take everything else of value from Jerusalem.
