Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name 'Pashhur,' but 'Magor-Missabib.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/jeremiah/20-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>For thus says the LORD, 'Look, 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; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/jeremiah/20-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/jeremiah/20-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.'"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/jeremiah/20-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded.
