Jeremiah 20:1-3 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.
