1When PashhurH6583 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of 1ImmerH564, whoH1931 was 2chiefH5057 officerH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 prophesyingH5012 theseH428 thingsH1697, 2PashhurH6583 had JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 3beatenH5221 and putH5414 him in the 4stocksH4115 that were at the upperH5945 5BenjaminH1144 GateH8179, whichH834 was by the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 3On the nextH4283 dayH4283, when PashhurH6583 releasedH3318 JeremiahH3414 from the stocksH4115, JeremiahH3414 saidH559 to him, “PashhurH6583 is not the nameH8034 the LordH3068 has 6calledH7121 you, but ratherH3588H518 78Magor-missabibH4036. 4For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘BeholdH2009, I am going to makeH5414 you a 9terrorH4032 to yourself and to allH3605 your friendsH157; and while 10your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on, they will fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH340. So I will 11giveH5414 over allH3605 JudahH3063 to the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will carryH1540 them awayH1540 as 12exilesH1540 to BabylonH894 and will slayH5221 them with the swordH2719. 5I will also giveH5414 over allH3605 the 13wealthH2633 of thisH2088 cityH5892, allH3605 its produceH3018 and allH3605 its costlyH3366 thingsH3366; even allH3605 the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 I will giveH5414 over to the 14handH3027 of their enemiesH340, and they will plunderH962 them, takeH3947 them away and bringH935 them to BabylonH894. 6And you, 15PashhurH6583, and allH3605 who liveH3427 in your houseH1004 will goH1980 into captivityH7628; and you will enterH935 BabylonH894, and thereH8033 you will dieH4191 and thereH8033 you will be buriedH6912, you and allH3605 your 16friendsH157 to whomH834 you have 17falselyH8267 prophesiedH5012.’”
