Context
Jeremiah is Flogged and Put in A Cell
20:1 Now Pashhur son of Immer heard Jeremiah prophesy these things . He was the priest who was chief of security in the Lord’s temple .
20:2 When he heard Jeremiah’s prophecy, he had the prophet flogged . Then he put him in the stocks which were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in the Lord’s temple .
20:3 But the next day Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks . When he did, Jeremiah said to him , “The Lord’s name for you is not ‘Pashhur ’ but ‘Terror is Everywhere .’
20:4 For the Lord says , ‘I will make both you and your friends terrified of what will happen to you. You will see all of them die by the swords of their enemies . I will hand all the people of Judah over to the king of Babylon . He will carry some of them away into exile in Babylon and he will kill others of them with the sword .
20:5 I will hand over all the wealth of this city to their enemies. I will hand over to them all the fruits of the labor of the people of this city and all their prized possessions , as well as all the treasures of the kings of Judah . Their enemies will seize it all as plunder and carry it off to Babylon .
