Jeremiah20:6
6 And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies .
Those that teach others to disobey the Commandements of God, seldom escape that Vengeance which cometh upon them who are seduced by them. Pashur was one whose office it was to have taught others the Fear of the Lord, and obedience to his Will, he teacheth them what was false, and is not patient to hear the Will of God. Ieremiah tells him he should feel the Truth of it, for he himself should be one of those who should be carried into Captivity, and should dye there, out of his own Country, and be buried there, and this also should be the portion of all his friends whom he had seduced by his false and lying Prophesies.
