1
In the beginning
of the reign
of Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah,
king
of Judah,
this
word
came
from the LORD,
saying,
2
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'
Stand
in the court
of the LORD'S
house
,
and speak
to
all
the cities
of Judah
who have come
to worship
in the LORD'S
house
all
the words
that I have commanded
you to speak
to them. Do not omit
a word!
3
'
Perhaps
they will listen
and everyone
will turn
from his evil
way,
that I may repent
of the calamity
which
I am planning
to do
to them because
of the evil
of their deeds.'
4
"And you will say
to them, 'Thus
says
the LORD,
"If
you will not listen
to Me, to walk
in My law
which
I have set
before
you,
5
to listen
to the words
of My servants
the prophets,
whom
I have been sending
to you again
and again,
but you have not listened;
6
then
I will make
this
house
like Shiloh,
and
this
city
I will make
a curse
to all
the nations
of the earth."'"
7
The priests
and the prophets
and all
the people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in the house
of the LORD.
8
When Jeremiah
finished
speaking
all
that the LORD
had commanded
him to speak
to
all
the people
,
the priests
and the prophets
and
all
the people
seized
him, saying,
"You must
die!
9
"Why
have you prophesied
in the name
of the LORD
saying,
'This
house
will be like Shiloh
and this
city
will be desolate,
without
inhabitant '?"
And all
the people
gathered
about
Jeremiah
in the
house
of the LORD
.
10
When the officials
of Judah
heard
these
things,
they came
up from the king's
house
to the
house
of the LORD
and sat
in the entrance
of the New
Gate
of the LORD
'S
house
.
11
Then the priests
and the prophets
spoke
to the officials
and to all
the people,
saying,
"A death
sentence
for
this
man!
For he has prophesied
against
this
city
as you have heard
in your hearing."
12
Then Jeremiah
spoke
to
all
the officials
and
to
all
the people,
saying,
"The LORD
sent
me to prophesy
against
this
house
and
against
this
city
all
the words
that you have heard.
13
"Now
therefore amend
your ways
and your deeds
and obey
the voice
of the LORD
your God;
and the LORD
will change His mind
about
the misfortune
which
He has pronounced
against
you.
14
"But as for me, behold,
I am in your hands;
do
with me as is good
and right
in your sight.
15
"Only
know
for certain
that if
you put me to death,
you will bring
innocent
blood
on yourselves, and on this
city
and on its inhabitants;
for truly
the LORD
has sent
me to you to speak
all
these
words
in your hearing."
16
Then the officials
and all
the people
said
to the priests
and to the prophets,
"No
death
sentence
for this
man!
For he has spoken
to us in the name
of the LORD
our God."
17
Then some
of the elders
of the land
rose
up and spoke
to all
the assembly
of the people,
saying,
18
"Micah
of Moresheth
prophesied
in the days
of Hezekiah
king
of Judah;
and he spoke
to all
the people
of Judah,
saying,
'Thus
the LORD
of hosts
has said,
"Zion
will be plowed
as a field,
And Jerusalem
will become
ruins,
And the mountain
of the house
as the high places
of a forest."'
19
"Did Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
and all
Judah
put
him to death?
Did he not fear
the LORD
and entreat
the favor
of
the LORD
,
and
the LORD
changed His mind
about
the misfortune
which
He had pronounced
against
them? But we are committing
a great
evil
against
ourselves."
20
Indeed, there was also
a man
who prophesied
in the name
of the LORD,
Uriah
the son
of Shemaiah
from Kiriath-jearim;
and he prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
words
similar to all
those of Jeremiah.
21
When King
Jehoiakim
and all
his mighty men
and all
the officials
heard
his words,
then the king
sought
to put him to death;
but Uriah
heard
it, and he was afraid
and fled
and went
to Egypt.
22
Then King
Jehoiakim
sent
men
to Egypt:
Elnathan
the son
of Achbor
and certain
men
with him went into Egypt.
23
And they brought
Uriah
from Egypt
and led
him to King
Jehoiakim,
who slew
him with a sword
and cast
his dead body
into the burial place
of the common
people.
24
But the hand
of Ahikam
the son
of Shaphan
was with Jeremiah,
so that he was not given
into the hands
of the people
to put him to death.
