Jeremiah 26:14
chevron_left

1
In the beginning
of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the
L
ORD
, saying,
2
Thus saith the
L
ORD
; Stand in the court of the
L
ORD
’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the
L
ORD
’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
3
If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
4
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the
L
ORD
; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending
them
, but ye have not hearkened;
6
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the
L
ORD
.
8
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the
L
ORD
had commanded
him
to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the
L
ORD
, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the
L
ORD
.
10
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the
L
ORD
, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the
L
ORD
’s
house
.
11
Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man
is
worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The
L
ORD
sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the
L
ORD
your God; and the
L
ORD
will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
As for me, behold, I
am
in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
15
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the
L
ORD
hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
16
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man
is
not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the
L
ORD
our God.
17
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the
L
ORD
of hosts; Zion shall be plowed
like
a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the
L
ORD
, and besought the
L
ORD
, and the
L
ORD
repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the
L
ORD
, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
21
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt,
namely
, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and
certain
men with him into Egypt.
23
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
