1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the Lord’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the Lord’s house.
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.
