New Testament

Jeremiah 20:1-4 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Pashhur son of Immer was a priest and the chief of temple security. He heard what I had said,

2. and so he hit me. Then he had me arrested and put in chains at the Benjamin Gate in the Lord's temple.

3. The next day, when Pashhur let me go free, I told him that the Lord had said:No longer will I call you Pashhur. Instead, I will call you Afraid-of-Everything.

4. You will be afraid, and you will bring fear to your friends as well. You will see enemies kill them in battle. Then I will make the king of Babylonia take everyone in Judah prisoner, killing some and dragging the rest away to Babylonia.
