Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 026

 

026:001In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,

 

026:002Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house,
and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship
in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to
speak unto them; diminish not a word:

 

026:003If 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.

 

026:004And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will
not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before
you,

 

026:005To 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;

 

026:006Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this
city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

 

026:007So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard
Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

 

026:008Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking
all that the LORD 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.

 

026:009Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, 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 LORD.

 

026:010When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came
up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat
down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.

 

026:011Then 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.

 

026:012Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the
people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this
house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

 

026:013Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the
voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of
the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

 

026:014As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth
good and meet unto you.

 

026:015But 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
LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your
ears.

 

026:016Then 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 LORD our God.

 

026:017Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to
all the assembly of the people, saying,

 

026:018Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king
of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus
saith the LORD 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.

 

026:019Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to
death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and
the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced
against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our
souls.

 

026:020And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the
LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who
prophesied against this city and against this land according
to all the words of Jeremiah.

 

026:021And 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;

 

026:022And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan
the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

 

026:023And 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.

 

026:024Nevertheless 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.
