Berean Standard Bible
In
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, came
this word from Yahweh,
saying,
At
the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came
from the
LORD:
Thus
says Yahweh
: Stand in the court
of Yahweh's
house ,
and speak to all the cities of Judah ,
which
come to worship in
Yahweh's
house,
all
the
words
that
I
command
you
to
speak
to
them;
don't
diminish
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.
It
may
be
they will listen ,
and turn every
man
from his evil way ;
that I may repent
me
of the evil
which
I purpose
to
do
to 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
.
You shall
tell them ,
Thus
says Yahweh
: If you will
not listen 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
listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send
to
you ,
even
rising
up
early
and sending
them,
but
you have
not listened;
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. ’”
The priests and the
prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.
Now
the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the
LORD,
It
happened,
when
Jeremiah
had made
an
end
of
speaking
all that
Yahweh
had commanded him to speak
to
all
the
people
, that
the priests and the
prophets and all the people laid
hold
on
him, saying
, You shall
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
have
you prophesied
in the name of Yahweh,
saying,
This house shall
be
like Shiloh ,
and this city shall
be desolate ,
without
inhabitant?
All the people were
gathered
to
Jeremiah in the house of Yahweh
.
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, they came
up from the king's
house
to the house of Yahweh;
and they
sat in
the entry
of the new gate of
Yahweh'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 spoke
the priests and the
prophets to the princes
and to
all the people, saying,
This man is worthy of death ;
for he has prophesied against this city, as you 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
spoke
Jeremiah to all the princes
and to
all the people, saying,
Yahweh
sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you 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.
Now therefore
amend
your ways and your
doings
, and obey the voice of Yahweh
your God ;
and
Yahweh
will
repent
him
of the evil
that
he has 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.
But
as for me, behold,
I am in your hand:
do with
me as
is good and right in
your
eyes
.
As for me, here
I am in your hands;
do to
me what
you
think
is good and right.
Only
know for certain that ,
if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on
yourselves, and
on
this city, and on
the
inhabitants
of
it
; for of
a
truth
Yahweh
has sent me to 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 to
the priests and to
the
prophets :
This man is not worthy of death ;
for he has spoken to us in the name of Yahweh
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 spoke
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 Morashtite
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah ;
and he
spoke
to
all the people of Judah ,
saying,
Thus
says
Yahweh
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
.
“
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 to death? Didn't
he
fear Yahweh,
and
entreat
the favor of
Yahweh
, and Yahweh
repented
him
of the evil
which
he had pronounced against them? Thus
should
we commit
great evil
against
our
own
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!”
There was also
a
man who
prophesied
in the name of Yahweh
, 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 :
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 Uriah 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
Uriah out of Egypt ,
and brought
him to Jehoiakim
the
king, who killed
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.
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.
Nevertheless,
Ahikam son of Shaphan supported
Jeremiah, so
he
was
not handed
over
to
the people to be
put to death.
