“For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.”
The prophecy to Pashhur—that he will see and speak all evil to his friends and they will fall to the sword—announces the reversal of the persecution. The one who struck the prophet will witness the fall of his companions and nation. The specific enumeration of terror, sword, plunder, and captivity emphasizes the comprehensiveness of coming judgment. Pashhur will become a witness to his own prophecy's fulfillment.
