Magor-Missabib
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Magor-Missabib A nickname given ( Jeremiah 20:8 ) by Jeremiah to Pashhur, chief officer in the Temple, who had caused Jeremiah to be beaten and put in the stocks as a false prophet. The name is an etymological play on the word Pashhur , and denotes ‘fear-roundabout’; but whether Pashhur (wh. see) was to be that to his surroundings, or vice versa, does not appear.

mā´gor - mis´a - bib ( מגור מסּביב , māghōr miṣṣābhı̄bh , "terror on every side"): A name given by Jeremiah to Pashhur ben Immer, the governor of the temple, who had caused the prophet to be beaten and set in the stocks ( Jeremiah 20:3 ). The same expression is used (not as a proper name) in several other passages ( Psalm 31:13; Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 46:5; Jeremiah 49:29; Lamentations 2:22 ).

(Hebrew, lMagor' mis-sabib', מָגוֹד מַסָּבַיב , Terror From Around About; Sept. Μέτοικος Κυκλόθεν , Vulg. Pavor Undiquae ) , an epithet applied at the divine instance by Jeremiah to the persecuting: Pashur (q.v.), emblematical of his signal fate, as explained in the context ( Jeremiah 20:3). "It is remarkable that the same phrase occurs in several other passages of Jeremiah (6:25; 20:10; 46:5; 49:29; Lamentations 2:22), and is only found besides in Psalms 31:13" (Smith).
