In the beginning
of the reign
of Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah
king
of Judah
came this word
from the LORD,
saying,
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:
say
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.

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,
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;
Then will I make
this house
like Shiloh,
and will make
this city
a curse
to 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 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.
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.

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.

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.
say
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.
say
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.

As for me, behold, I am in your hand:
do
with me as seemeth
good
and meet
unto you.
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.
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.
say
Then rose up
certain
of the elders
of the land,
and spake
to all the assembly
of the people,
saying,
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.

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.
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:

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;

And Jehoiakim
the king
sent
men
into Egypt,
namely, Elnathan
the son
of Achbor,
and certain men
with him into Egypt.
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.
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.
