The Word of God to Pashhur

1 Now aPashhur the son of bImmer, the priest who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.  
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high agate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.  
3 And it happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The Lord has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib.  
4 For thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will agive all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword.  
5 Moreover I awill deliver all the wealth of this city, all its produce, and all its precious things; all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, who will plunder them, seize them, and bcarry them to Babylon.  
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. You shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have aprophesied lies.’ ” 

Jeremiah’s Unpopular Ministry

7 O Lord, You1 induced me, and I was persuaded;
aYou are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
bI am1 in derision daily;
Everyone mocks me. 
8 For when I spoke, I cried out;
aI shouted, “Violence and plunder!”
Because the word of the Lord was made to me
A reproach and a derision daily.
