At
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
from the
LORD:
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, came
this word from Jehovah,
saying,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: Stand in the courtyard
of the
house of
the
LORD
and speak all
the
words
I
have
commanded
you
to
speak
to
all the cities of Judah who
come to worship there.
Do
not omit
a word.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: Stand in the court
of Jehovah's
house ,
and speak unto
all the cities of Judah ,
which
come to worship in
Jehovah's
house,
all
the
words
that
I
command
thee
to
speak
unto
them;
diminish
not a word.
Perhaps
they will listen
and turn —each
from his evil way of
life—so
that I may relent
of the disaster
I am
planning
to bring
upon
them because of the evil of their deeds
.
It
may
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
.
And you
are
to
tell
them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: ‘
If you
do
not listen
to Me and
walk in My law, which I have set before you,
And thou
shalt
say
unto
them ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: If ye
will
not hearken
to me ,
to
walk in my law, which I have set before you,
and
if
you
do
not
listen
to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have
sent
you again
and
again
even though
you
did
not
listen
,
to hearken
to
the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send
unto
you ,
even rising
up
early
and
sending
them
, but
ye
have
not
hearkened;
then I
will make this house like Shiloh, and I
will make this city an
object
of
cursing
among
all the nations of the earth. ’”
then will I
make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a
curse
to
all the nations of the earth.
Now
the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the
LORD,
And
the priests and the
prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
and as
soon
as
he
had finished
telling
all the
people
everything
the
LORD
had commanded him to say
, the priests and prophets and all the people seized
him, shouting
, “You
must
surely die !
And it
came
to
pass,
when
Jeremiah
had made
an
end
of
speaking
all that
Jehovah
had commanded him to speak
unto
all
the
people
, that
the priests and the
prophets and all the people laid
hold
on
him, saying
, Thou
shalt
surely die .
How
dare
you
prophesy
in the name of the
LORD
that
this house will
become
like Shiloh and this city will
be desolate and
deserted!”
And all the people assembled
against
Jeremiah in the house of the
LORD
.
Why
hast
thou
prophesied
in the name of Jehovah,
saying,
This house shall
be
like Shiloh ,
and this city shall
be desolate ,
without
inhabitant?
And all the people were
gathered
unto
Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah
.
When the officials
of Judah heard these things, they went
up from the king’s
palace
to
the house of the
LORD
and sat there
at
the entrance
of the New Gate.
And
when the princes
of Judah heard these things, they came
up from the king's
house
unto
the house of Jehovah;
and they
sat in
the entry
of the new gate of
Jehovah's
`house'
.
Then the priests and prophets said
to
the officials
and all the people, “
This man is worthy of death ,
for he has
prophesied against this city, as you
have heard with your own
ears !”
Then spake
the priests and the
prophets unto
the princes
and to
all the people, saying,
This man is worthy of death ;
for he hath
prophesied against this city, as ye
have heard with your ears .
But
Jeremiah said
to
all the officials
and all the people, “The
LORD
sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you
have heard.
Then
spake
Jeremiah unto
all the princes
and to
all the people, saying,
Jehovah
sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye
have heard.
So
now ,
correct
your ways and deeds
, and obey the voice of the
LORD
your God ,
so
that
He
might
relent
of the disaster
He has
pronounced against you.
Now therefore
amend
your ways and your
doings
, and obey the voice of Jehovah
your God ;
and
Jehovah
will
repent
him
of the evil
that
he hath
pronounced against you.
As for me, here
I am in your hands;
do to
me what
you
think
is good and right.
But
as for me, behold,
I am in your hand:
do with
me as
is good and right in
your
eyes
.
But
know for certain that if you
put me to death, you
will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its
residents
; for truly
the
LORD
has
sent me to speak all these words in your hearing
. ”
Only
know ye
for certain that ,
if ye
put me to death, ye
will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and
upon this city, and upon the
inhabitants
thereof
; for of
a
truth
Jehovah
hath
sent me unto
you
to speak all these words in your ears
.
Then the officials
and all the people told
the priests and prophets ,
“
This man is not worthy of death ,
for he has
spoken to us in the name of the
LORD
our God !”
Then said
the princes
and all the people unto
the priests and to
the
prophets :
This man is not worthy of death ;
for he hath
spoken to us in the name of Jehovah
our God .
Some
of the elders of the land stood
up
and said
to the whole
assembly of the people,
Then
rose
up
certain
of the elders of the land ,
and spake
to all
the assembly of the people, saying,
“
Micah the Moreshite
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told
all the people of Judah that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Zion will
be plowed like
a field, Jerusalem will
become a
heap
of
rubble
, and the temple
mount
a wooded
ridge
. ’
Micah the Morashtite
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah ;
and he
spake
to
all the people of Judah ,
saying,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts: Zion shall
be plowed as
a field, and
Jerusalem shall
become heaps
, and the mountain
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
a forest
.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah or
anyone
else
in
Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah
not fear the
LORD
and seek
His
favor, and did
not
the
LORD
relent
of the disaster
He had pronounced against them? But
we are
about
to
bring
great harm
on
ourselves!”
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and
all
Judah put him to death? did he
not fear Jehovah,
and entreat
the
favor of
Jehovah
, and Jehovah
repented
him
of the evil
which
he had pronounced against them? Thus
should
we commit
great evil
against
our
own
souls.
Now
there was another
man prophesying
in the name of the
LORD
, Uriah son of Shemaiah from
Kiriath-jearim .
He prophesied against this city and against this land the same
things
that
Jeremiah did.
And
there was also
a
man that
prophesied
in the name of Jehovah
, Uriah the
son of Shemaiah of
Kiriath-jearim ;
and
he prophesied against this city and against this land according
to
all
the words
of
Jeremiah :
King
Jehoiakim
and all his mighty men and officials
heard his words, and
the king sought to put him to death .
But when Uriah found
out
about
it, he fled in
fear
and went to
Egypt .
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 Uriah heard
it, he was
afraid,
and
fled ,
and went into
Egypt :
Then
King
Jehoiakim sent men to
Egypt :
Elnathan son of Achbor along
with
some
other
men .
and
Jehoiakim the
king
sent men into
Egypt ,
`namely',
Elnathan the
son of Achbor ,
and
certain
men with
him,
into
Egypt;
They brought
Uriah out of Egypt and took
him to
King
Jehoiakim, who had
him put
to
the sword and his body thrown
into the burial
place
of the common people.
and
they fetched
forth
Uriah 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.
Nevertheless,
Ahikam son of Shaphan supported
Jeremiah, so
he
was
not handed
over
to
the people to be
put to death.
But
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.
