20:1 Yirmiyah’s conflict with Pashhur

Southern kingdom

20 The priest, Pashhur (Imer’s son) who was a supervisor, heard Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) prophesying those words at Yahweh’s house, 2 and he struck the prophet Yirmiyah. Then he placed him in the stocks that were at the upper gate of Benyamin hear Yahweh’s house. 3 The next day, when Pashhur released Yirmiyah from the stocks, Yirmiyah said to him, “Yahweh won’t call you ‘Pashhur’, but ‘Magor -Misaviv’ (which means ‘surrounded by terror’), 4 because Yahweh says this: Listen, I’ll make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They’ll fall by their enemies’ swords before your very eyes, and then I’ll hand Yehudah (Judah) over to the Babylonian king, and he’ll carry them away to Bavel (Babylon) and put them to death. 5 I’ll give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of Yehudah’s kings—to their enemies. They’ll plunder it, seize it, and carry it off to Bavel. 6 Then you, Pashhur will be taken into captivity along with all the others in your home. You’ll be taken to Bavel, and you’ll die there and be buried—you and all your friends who you’ve prophesied these lies to.

5 And_I _will _give DOM all _of the _wealth _of the_city (the)_this and_DOM all _of property _of_its and_DOM every _of thing _of_its _precious and_DOM all _of the _treasures _of the _kings _of Yəhūdāh I _will _give in_the _hand _of their _enemies _of_their and_they_will _plunder _them and_they_will _take _them and_they_will _bring _them to_Bāⱱel.
