Verse 6
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captivity ,.... Particularly he and his family should not escape; whoever did:
and thou shalt come to Babylon ; being brought there, though sore against his will:
and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there ; even in a defiled land, as all other countries were reckoned by the Jews; and to be buried in such a land, Kimchi observes, was a curse; and so it is here threatened as such:
thou, and all thy friends ; that is, such as should escape the sword, Jeremiah 20:4 ;
to whom thou hast prophesied lies ; this shows the cause of; all this threatened destruction to him and his friends; not only because he had so ill used Jeremiah, a true prophet of the Lord; but because he was a false prophet, and his friends had hearkened to his lies, and disbelieved those prophecies that came from the Lord himself.
