In the beginningh7225 of the reignh4468 of  aJehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, thish2088 wordh1697 cameh1961 from the LORDh3068, sayingh559,

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, ` aStandh5975 in the courth2691a of the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004, and speakh1696 to allh3605 the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 who have  bcomeh935 to worshiph7812 in the LORD'Sh3068 househ1004  callh3605 the wordsh1697 that I have commandedh6680 you to speakh1696 to them.  dDo not omith1639 a wordh1697!

aPerhapsh194 they will listenh8085 and everyoneh376 will turnh7725 from his evilh7451a wayh1870, that  bI may repenth5162 of the calamityh7463a whichh834 I am planningh2803 to doh6213a to them becauseh4480h6440 of the evilh7455 of their deedsh4611.'

"And you will sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aIfh518 you will not listenh8085 to Me, to  bwalkh1980 in My lawh8451 whichh834 I have seth5414 beforeh6440 you,

5

to listenh8085 to the wordsh1697 of  aMy servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030, whomh834 I have been sendingh7971 to you  1againh7925 and againh7971, but you have not listenedh8085;

6

then I will makeh5414 thish2088 househ1004 like  aShilohh7887, and thish384 cityh5892b I will makeh5414 a  bcurseh7045 to allh3605 the nationsh1471 of the earthh776.""'

The  apriestsh3548 and the prophetsh5030 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a heardh8085 Jeremiahh3414 speakingh1696 theseh428 wordsh1697 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

When Jeremiahh3414 finishedh3615 speakingh1696 allh3605 that the LORDh3068 had commandedh6680 him to speakh1696 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, the priestsh3548 and the prophetsh5030 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a seizedh8610 him, sayingh559, " aYou musth4191 dieh4191!

"Whyh4069 have you prophesiedh5012 in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 sayingh559, `Thish2088 househ1004 will be like Shilohh7887 and thish384 cityh5892b will be  adesolateh2717b, withouth369 inhabitanth3427'?" And  ballh3605 the peopleh5971a gatheredh6950 abouth413 Jeremiahh3414 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

10

When the  aofficialsh8269 of Judahh3063 heardh8085 theseh428 thingsh1697, they cameh5927 up from the king'sh4428 househ1004 to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 and sath3427 in the  bentranceh6607 of the Newh2319 Gateh8179 of the LORD'Sh3068 house.

11

Then the priestsh3548 and the prophetsh5030  aspokeh559 to the officialsh8269 and to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, sayingh559, "A  bdeathh4194 sentenceh4941 for thish2088 manh376! For he has prophesiedh5012  cagainsth413 thish384 cityh5892b as you have heardh8085 in your hearingh241."

12

Then Jeremiahh3414 spokeh559 to allh3605 the officialsh8269 and to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, sayingh559, " aThe LORDh3068 senth7971 me to prophesyh5012 againsth413 thish2088 househ1004 and againsth413 thish384 cityh5892b allh3605 the wordsh1697 that you have heardh8085.

13

"Nowh6258 therefore  aamendh3190 your waysh1870 and your deedsh4611 and obeyh8085 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430; and the LORDh3068 will  1changeh5162 His mindh5162 abouth413 the misfortuneh7463a whichh834 He has pronouncedh1696 againsth5921 you.

14

"But as for me, beholdh2009,  aI am in your handsh3027; doh6213a with me as is goodh2896a and righth3477 in your sighth5869.

15

"Onlyh389 knowh3045 for certainh3045 that ifh518 you puth4191 me to deathh4191, you will bringh5414  ainnocenth5355a bloodh1818 on yourselves, and on thish384 cityh5892b and on its inhabitantsh3427; for trulyh571 the LORDh3068 has senth7971 me to you to speakh1696 allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697 in your hearingh241."

Jeremiah Is Spared

16

Then the officialsh8269 and allh3605 the peopleh5971a  asaidh559 to the priestsh3548 and to the prophetsh5030, "Noh369  bdeathh4194 sentenceh4941 for thish2088 manh376! For he has spokenh1696 to us in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 our Godh430."

17

Then  asomeh376 of the eldersh2205 of the landh776 roseh6965 up and spokeh559 to allh3605 the assemblyh6951 of the peopleh5971a, sayingh559,

18

1 aMicahh4318 of Moreshethh4183 prophesiedh5012 in the daysh3117 of Hezekiahh2396 kingh4428 of Judahh3063; and he spokeh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a of Judahh3063, sayingh559, `Thush3541 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 has saidh559, " bZionh6726 will be plowedh2790a as a fieldh7704, And Jerusalemh3389 will becomeh1961 ruinsh5856, And the  cmountainh2022 of the househ1004 as the  2highh1116 placesh1116 of a foresth3293a."'

19

"Did Hezekiahh2396 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 and allh3605 Judahh3063 puth4191 him to deathh4191? Did he not  afearh3372a the LORDh3068 and entreath2470b the favorh6440 of the LORDh3068, and  bthe LORDh3068  1changedh5162 His mindh5162 abouth413 the misfortuneh7463a whichh834 He had pronouncedh1696 againsth5921 them? But we are  ccommittingh6213a a greath1419 evilh7463a againsth5921 ourselvesh5315."

20

Indeedh1571, there was alsoh1571 a manh376 who prophesiedh5012 in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, Uriahh223b the sonh1121 of Shemaiahh8098 from  aKiriath-jearimh7157; and he prophesiedh5012 againsth5921 thish384 cityh5892b and againsth5921 thish384 landh776 wordsh1697 similar to allh3605 those of Jeremiahh3414.

21

When Kingh4428 Jehoiakimh3079 and allh3605 his mightyh1368 menh1368 and allh3605 the officialsh8269 heardh8085 his wordsh1697, then the  akingh4428 soughth1245 to puth4191 him to deathh4191; but Uriahh223b heardh8085 it, and he was afraidh3372a and  bfledh1272 and wenth935 to Egypth4714.

22

Then Kingh4428 Jehoiakimh3079 senth7971 menh376 to Egypth4714:  aElnathanh494 the sonh1121 of Achborh5907 and certain menh376 with him went into Egypth4714.

23

And they broughth3318 Uriahh223b from Egypth4714 and ledh935 him to Kingh4428 Jehoiakimh3079, who  aslewh5221 him with a swordh2719 and casth7993 his deadh5038 bodyh5038 into the  1burialh6913 placeh6913 of the  2commonh1121 peopleh5971a.

24

But the handh3027 of  aAhikamh296 the sonh1121 of Shaphanh8227b was with Jeremiahh3414, so that he was  bnot givenh5414 into the handsh3027 of the peopleh5971a to puth4191 him to deathh4191.
