Jeremiah 26
In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
a
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah
king
of
Judah
came
this
word
from
the
Lord,
saying,
2 Thus
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;
a
diminish
not
a
word:
3 If
so
be
they
will
hearken,
and
turn
every
man
from
his
evil
way,
that
I
may
a
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
Lord;
If
ye
will
not
a
hearken
to
me,
to
b
walk
in
my
c
law,
which
I
have
set
before
you,
5 To
hearken
to
the
words
of
my
servants
the
a
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
a
Shiloh,
and
will
make
this
city
a
b
curse
to
all
the
nations
of
the
c
earth.
7 So
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
8 Now
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
a
die.
9 Why
hast
thou
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
Lord,
saying,
This
house
shall
be
like
Shiloh,
and
this
city
shall
be
a
desolate
without
an
inhabitant?
And
all
the
people
were
gathered
against
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
10 When
the
a
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.
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
a
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
Lord
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
Lord
your
God;
a
and
the
Lord
will
repent
him
of
the
evil
that
he
hath
pronounced
against
you.
14 As
for
me,
behold,
I
am
in
your
a
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
a
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.
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
Lord
our
God.
17 Then
rose
up
certain
of
the
elders
of
the
land,
and
spake
to
all
the
assembly
of
the
people,
saying,
18
a
Micah
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
b
plowed
like
a
field,
and
c
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
Lord,
a
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.
20 And
there
was
also
a
man
that
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
Lord,
Urijah
the
son
of
Shemaiah
of
Kirjath-jearim,
who
a
prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
according
to
all
the
words
of
Jeremiah:
21 And
when
a
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,
a
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
a
slew
him
with
the
sword,
and
cast
his
dead
body
into
the
graves
of
the
common
people.
24 Nevertheless
the
hand
of
a
Ahikam
the
son
of
b
Shaphan
was
with
Jeremiah,
that
they
should
not
give
him
into
the
hand
of
the
people
to
put
him
to
death.
