3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “the Lord has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
4 For the Lord says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Lord, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded.You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.I have become a laughing-stock all day.Everyone mocks me.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out;I cry, “Violence and destruction!”because the Lord’s word has been made a reproach to me,and a derision, all day.
9 If I say, I will not make mention of him,or speak any more in his name,then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,and I am weary with holding it in,and I can’t.
