The priest Pashhur has Jeremiah beaten and put in the stocks, and Jeremiah renames him “Terror on every side,” foretelling his exile. Then the prophet pours out one of his most anguished confessions — feeling deceived and mocked, yet unable to stay silent, for God’s word is “in my heart as it were a burning fire” — swinging between praise and the wish that he had never been born.
