24;
24 Furthermore, Ahikam son of
Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be
put to death. (6)
369
17 Some
of the elders of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of
people,
(8)
18 “Micah of Moresheth
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of
Judah, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: “‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of
rubble, the temple hill a mound
overgrown with thickets.’
19 “Did Hezekiah king
of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah fear the Lord
and seek His favor? And did not the Lord
relent, so that He did not bring the disaster He pronounced against them? We are about to bring a
terrible disaster on ourselves!”
147
8 But
as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the Lord had commanded him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the
people seized him and said, “You must die! (8)
9 Why do you prophesy in the Lord’s
name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and
deserted?” And all the people
crowded around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 When the officials
of Judah heard about these things, they went up from the royal palace to the
house of the Lord and took their places at the
entrance of the New Gate of the Lord’s house.
147
23 They
brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck
down with a sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common
people.) (5)
258
14 As
for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right. (5)
15 Be assured,
however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent
blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth
the Lord has sent me to you to speak all
these words in your hearing.”
16 Then the officials
and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death! He
has spoken to us in the name of the Lord
our God.”
147
5 and
if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent
to you again and again (though you have not listened), (5)
6 then I will make this house
like Shiloh and this city a curse among all the nations of the earth.’”
7 The priests, the
prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these words in the house of
the Lord.
147
20 (Now
Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim was another man who prophesied in the
name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things
against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. (2)
21 When King Jehoiakim
and all his officers and officials heard his words, the king was determined to
put him to death. But
Uriah heard of it and fled in fear to Egypt.
147
11 Then
the priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This
man should be sentenced to death because he has prophesied against this city.
You have heard it with your own ears!”
(2)
12 Then Jeremiah said
to all the officials and all the people: “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the
things you have heard.
13 Now reform your ways and your
actions and Obey the Lord your God. Then the Lord
will relent and not bring the disaster He has pronounced against you.
147
Jeremiah Threatened
With Death
26 Early in the reign
of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the Lord:
2 “This
is what the Lord says: Stand in the
courtyard of the Lord’s
house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in
the house of the Lord.
Tell them everything I command you;
do not omit a word. (2)
3 Perhaps they will listen and
each will turn from their evil ways. Then I will relent and not inflict on them
the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done.
