Jeremiah 20:1-5

Jeremiah 20:1-5 CSB

Pashhur the priest,  the son of Immer  and chief official in the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things. So Pashhur had the prophet Jeremiah beaten and put him in the stocks  at the Upper Benjamin Gate  in the LORD’s temple. The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Terror Is on Every Side,  for this is what the LORD says, ‘I am about to make you a terror to both yourself and those you love.  They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes.  I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will deport them to Babylon and put them to the sword. I will give away all the wealth  of this city, all its products  and valuables. Indeed, I will hand all the treasures of the kings of Judah over to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
