Then on the next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “Pashhur is not the name the Lord has (A)called you, but rather [a](B)Magor-missabib. For this is what the Lord says: ‘Behold, I am going to make you a (C)horror to yourself and to all your friends; and while (D)your eyes look on, they will fall by the sword of their enemies. So I will (E)hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will take them away as (F)exiles to Babylon and will kill them with the sword. I will also give all the (G)wealth of this city, all its produce and all its valuable things—even all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will (H)hand over to their enemies, and they will plunder them, take them away, and bring them to Babylon. And you, (I)Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity; and you will enter Babylon, and there you will die and there you will be buried, you and all your (J)friends to whom you have (K)falsely prophesied.’”

15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen now, Hananiah: the Lord has not sent you, and (A)you have made this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: ‘(B)Behold, I am going to [a]remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to (C)die, because you (D)spoke falsely against the Lord.’”

17 So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year, in the seventh month.
