Jeremiah 26

26 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this message came from the Eternal. 2 “Here is what the Eternal says: Stand in the court of the Eternal’s temple, and as all the citizens of Judah come to worship in the Eternal’s temple, tell them all the words that I order you to utter. Do not keep back a single word; 3 perhaps they will listen and turn, each man, from his evil course, so that I may relent and withhold the evil which I plan to inflict upon them for their evil deeds. 4 Tell them that this is the Eternal’s message: ‘If you will not listen to me, if you will not follow the directions that I put before you, 5 if you will not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you eagerly and earnestly (though you have not listened to them), 6 then I will lay this temple low like Shilo, and make this city a byword for the curses of every nation upon earth.’ ”

7 Now the priests and the prophets, as well as all the people, heard Jeremiah saying this in the Eternal’s temple. 8 So when Jeremiah had finished saying all that the Eternal had ordered him to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets seized him. “You shall die,” they said; 9 “what do you mean by prophesying in the Eternal’s name that this temple shall become like Shilo and that this city is to be desolate and untenanted?”

The people were all swarming round Jeremiah in the Eternal’s temple; 10 and when the authorities of Judah learned this, they came up to the Eternal’s temple from the royal palace, and seated themselves at the entrance of the new gate into the Eternal’s temple. 11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the authorities and to all the people, “This fellow deserves to die; he has been prophesying against this city--you have heard him with your own ears!” 12 But Jeremiah said to the authorities and to all the people, “It was the Eternal who sent me to prophesy against this temple and this city every word you have just heard. 13 Now then, amend your ways and deeds, obey the voice of the Eternal your God, and the Eternal will relent, he will withhold the evil he has pronounced against you. 14 As for myself, I am in your power; you can do with me as you think right and good. 15 Only, be sure of this, that if you put me to death, you bring the guilt of innocent blood upon yourselves and this city and its citizens; for it is a fact that the Eternal did send me to say all this in your hearing.”

16 The authorities and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man does not deserve to die; he has been speaking to us in the name of the Eternal our God.” 17 Some of the older inhabitants also rose to their feet and said to all the popular assembly, 18 “When Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of Hezekiah king of Judah, he told all the people of Judah that this was the word of the Lord of hosts:

Sion shall be ploughed up like a field,

Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,

the temple-hill a mere wooded height. 19 Did king Hezekiah or the peopie of Judah ever put him to death? Did they not reverently appease the Eternal, till the Eternal relented and withheld the evil he had pronounced against them? But as for us, we are about to wreak evil on ourselves!”

20 (There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Eternal, Uriah the son of Shemaiah, belonging to Kiriath-jearim; he too prophesied against this city and this land, just as Jeremiah did. 21 When king Jehoiakim and all the authorities heard what he said, the king tried to murder him; but Uriah heard of it and fled in fear, away to Egypt. 22 So king Jehoiakim sent El-nathan the son of Achbor, with some others, to Egypt; 23 they brought Uriah from Egypt to king Jehoiakim, who had him slain with the sword and his body flung into the public grave.)

24 Ahikam the son of Shaphan, however, came to the help of Jeremiah, and prevented him from being handed over to the people and killed.
