[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh: [2] “Yahweh says: ‘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 omit a word. [3] It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’ ” [4] You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you, [5] 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— [6] then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’ ” [7] The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in Yahweh’s house. [8] When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die! [9] Why have you prophesied in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house. [10] When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to Yahweh’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house. [11] Then the priests and the prophets spoke 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.” [12] Then Jeremiah spoke 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. [13] Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey Yahweh your God’s voice; then Yahweh will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you. [14] But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes. [15] Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth Yahweh has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.” [16] Then the princes and all the people said 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.” [17] Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, [18] “Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies says:
“ ‘Zion will be plowed as a field,
and Jerusalem will become heaps,
and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’ [19] 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 relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!” [20] There was also a man who prophesied in Yahweh’s name, 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. [21] 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. [22] Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt. [23] They fetched 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. [24] But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

[11] Then spakeH559(QalImpf) the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the people,H5971 saying,H559(QalInf) This manH376 [is] worthyH4941 to die;H4194 for he hath prophesiedH5012(NiphPerf) against this city,H5892 as ye have heardH8085(QalPerf) with your ears.H241 [12] Then spakeH559(QalImpf) JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the people,H5971 saying,H559(QalInf) The LordH3068 sentH7971(QalPerf) me to prophesyH5012(NiphInf) against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heard.H8085(QalPerf) [13] Therefore now amendH3190(HiphImpv) your waysH1870 and your doings,H4611 and obeyH8085(QalImpv) the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your God;H430 and the LordH3068 will repentH5162(NiphImpf) him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696(PielPerf) against you. [14] As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand:H3027 doH6213(QalImpv) with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meetH3477 unto you. [15] But knowH3045(QalImpf) ye for certain,H3045(QalInf) that if ye put me to death,H4191(HiphPtc) ye shall surely bringH5414(QalActPtc) innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this city,H5892 and upon the inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) thereof: for of a truthH571 the LordH3068 hath sentH7971(QalPerf) me unto you to speakH1696(PielInf) all these wordsH1697 in your ears.H241 [16] Then saidH559(QalImpf) the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophets;H5030 This manH376 [is] not worthyH4941 to die:H4194 for he hath spokenH1696(PielPerf) to us in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 our God.H430 [17] Then rose upH6965(QalImpf) certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of the land,H776 and spakeH559(QalImpf) to all the assemblyH6951 of the people,H5971 saying,H559(QalInf) [18] MicahH4320 the MorasthiteH4183 prophesiedH5012(NiphPtc) in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and spakeH559(QalImpf) to all the peopleH5971 of Judah,H3063 saying,H559(QalInf) Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 of hosts;H6635 ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790(NiphImpf) [like] a field,H7704 and JerusalemH3389 shall become heaps,H5856 and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the high placesH1116 of a forest.H3293 [19] Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and all JudahH3063 put him at allH4191(HiphInf) to death?H4191(HiphPerf) did he not fearH3373 the Lord,H3068 and besoughtH2470(PielImpf) the Lord,H3068 and the LordH3068 repentedH5162(NiphImpf) him of the evilH7451 which he had pronouncedH1696(PielPerf) against them? ThusH587 might we procureH6213(QalActPtc) greatH1419 evilH7451 against our souls.H5315 [20] And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012(HithPtc) in the nameH8034 of the Lord,H3068 UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of Kirjathjearim,H7157 who prophesiedH5012(NiphImpf) against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of Jeremiah:H3414 [21] And when JehoiakimH3079 the king,H4428 with all his mighty men,H1368 and all the princes,H8269 heardH8085(QalImpf) his words,H1697 the kingH4428 soughtH1245(PielImpf) to put him to death:H4191(HiphInf) but when UrijahH223 heardH8085(QalImpf) it, he was afraid,H3372(QalImpf) and fled,H1272(QalImpf) and wentH935(QalImpf) into Egypt;H4714 [22] And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971(QalImpf) menH582 into Egypt,H4714 [namely], ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of Achbor,H5907 and [certain] menH582 with him into Egypt.H4714 [23] And they fetched forthH3318(HiphImpf) UrijahH223 out of Egypt,H4714 and broughtH935(HiphImpf) him unto JehoiakimH3079 the king;H4428 who slewH5221(HiphImpf) him with the sword,H2719 and castH7993(HiphImpf) his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 people.H5971 [24] Nevertheless the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with Jeremiah,H3414 that they should not giveH5414(QalInf) him into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to put him to death.H4191(HiphInf)
