Berean Standard Bible
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah king of Judah came
this word from the LORD ,
saying,
At
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah ,
this word came
from the LORD :
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;
diminish
not a word :
“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 .
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
.
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
.
And 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,
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,
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;
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,
Then will
I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a
curse
to
all the nations of the earth.
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. ’”
So
the priests and the
prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD .
Now
the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD ,
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 die .
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 !
Why
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.
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.
When 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
.
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.
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 .
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
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.
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.
Therefore
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.
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.
As for me, behold,
I am in your hand:
do with
me as
seemeth
good and meet
unto
you
.
As for me, here
I am in your hands;
do to
me what
you
think
is
good and right
.
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 LORD hath
sent me unto
you
to speak all these words in your ears
.
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
. ”
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 .
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
rose
up
certain
of the elders of the land ,
and spake
to all
the assembly of the people, saying,
Some
of the elders of the land stood
up
and said
to the whole
assembly of the people,
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 plowed like a field, and
Jerusalem shall
become heaps
, and the mountain
of
the
house
as
the
high
places
of
a forest
.
“
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
. ’
Did 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.
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!”
And
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.
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
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 ;
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
Jehoiakim
the
king sent men into
Egypt ,
namely,
Elnathan the
son of Achbor ,
and
certain
men
with him
into
Egypt
.
Then
King Jehoiakim
sent men to
Egypt :
Elnathan son of Achbor along
with some
other
men
.
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.
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.
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.
Nevertheless ,
Ahikam son of Shaphan supported
Jeremiah, so
he
was
not handed
over
to
the people to be
put to death.
