Jeremiah 26 (WEBP)

[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.

Jeremiah 26 (KJVS)

[1] In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the Lord, saying, ()
[2] 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:
[3] 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.
[4] 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,
[5] 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; ()
[6] then will I make () this house like Shiloh, and will make () this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
[7] So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard () Jeremiah speaking () these words in the house of the Lord.
[8] 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. ()
[9] 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.
[10] 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.
[11] 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.
[12] 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. ()
[13] 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.
[14] As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do () with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] Then rose up () certain of the elders of the land, and spake () to all the assembly of the people, saying, ()
[18] 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.
[19] 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.
[20] And there was also a man that prophesied () in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied () against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
[21] 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;
[22] and Jehoiakim the king sent () men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
[23] 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.
[24] 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. ()

Jeremiah 26 (BYZ)

[1] [33:1] εν αρχη βασιλεως ιωακιμ υιου ιωσια εγενηθη ο λογος ουτος παρα κυριου
[2] [33:2] ουτως ειπεν κυριος στηθι εν αυλη οικου κυριου και χρηματιεις απασι τοις ιουδαιοις και πασι τοις ερχομενοις προσκυνειν εν οικω κυριου απαντας τους λογους ους συνεταξα σοι αυτοις χρηματισαι μη αφελης ρημα
[3] [33:3] ισως ακουσονται και αποστραφησονται εκαστος απο της οδου αυτου της πονηρας και παυσομαι απο των κακων ων εγω λογιζομαι του ποιησαι αυτοις ενεκεν των πονηρων επιτηδευματων αυτων
[4] [33:4] και ερεις ουτως ειπεν κυριος εαν μη ακουσητε μου του πορευεσθαι εν τοις νομιμοις μου οις εδωκα κατα προσωπον υμων
[5] [33:5] εισακουειν των λογων των παιδων μου των προφητων ους εγω αποστελλω προς υμας ορθρου και απεστειλα και ουκ εισηκουσατε μου
[6] [33:6] και δωσω τον οικον τουτον ωσπερ σηλωμ και την πολιν δωσω εις καταραν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν πασης της γης
[7] [33:7] και ηκουσαν οι ιερεις και οι ψευδοπροφηται και πας ο λαος του ιερεμιου λαλουντος τους λογους τουτους εν οικω κυριου
[8] [33:8] και εγενετο ιερεμιου παυσαμενου λαλουντος παντα α συνεταξεν αυτω κυριος λαλησαι παντι τω λαω και συνελαβοσαν αυτον οι ιερεις και οι ψευδοπροφηται και πας ο λαος λεγων θανατω αποθανη
[9] [33:9] οτι επροφητευσας τω ονοματι κυριου λεγων ωσπερ σηλωμ εσται ο οικος ουτος και η πολις αυτη ερημωθησεται απο κατοικουντων και εξεκκλησιασθη πας ο λαος επι ιερεμιαν εν οικω κυριου
[10] [33:10] και ηκουσαν οι αρχοντες ιουδα τον λογον τουτον και ανεβησαν εξ οικου του βασιλεως εις οικον κυριου και εκαθισαν εν προθυροις πυλης κυριου της καινης
[11] [33:11] και ειπαν οι ιερεις και οι ψευδοπροφηται προς τους αρχοντας και παντι τω λαω κρισις θανατου τω ανθρωπω τουτω οτι επροφητευσεν κατα της πολεως ταυτης καθως ηκουσατε εν τοις ωσιν υμων
[12] [33:12] και ειπεν ιερεμιας προς τους αρχοντας και παντι τω λαω λεγων κυριος απεστειλεν με προφητευσαι επι τον οικον τουτον και επι την πολιν ταυτην παντας τους λογους τουτους ους ηκουσατε
[13] [33:13] και νυν βελτιους ποιησατε τας οδους υμων και τα εργα υμων και ακουσατε της φωνης κυριου και παυσεται κυριος απο των κακων ων ελαλησεν εφ υμας
[14] [33:14] και ιδου εγω εν χερσιν υμων ποιησατε μοι ως συμφερει και ως βελτιον υμιν
[15] [33:15] αλλ η γνοντες γνωσεσθε οτι ει αναιρειτε με αιμα αθωον διδοτε εφ υμας και επι την πολιν ταυτην και επι τους κατοικουντας εν αυτη οτι εν αληθεια απεσταλκεν με κυριος προς υμας λαλησαι εις τα ωτα υμων παντας τους λογους τουτους
[16] [33:16] και ειπαν οι αρχοντες και πας ο λαος προς τους ιερεις και προς τους ψευδοπροφητας ουκ εστιν τω ανθρωπω τουτω κρισις θανατου οτι επι τω ονοματι κυριου του θεου ημων ελαλησεν προς ημας
[17] [33:17] και ανεστησαν ανδρες των πρεσβυτερων της γης και ειπαν παση τη συναγωγη του λαου
[18] [33:18] μιχαιας ο μωραθιτης ην εν ταις ημεραις εζεκιου βασιλεως ιουδα και ειπεν παντι τω λαω ιουδα ουτως ειπεν κυριος σιων ως αγρος αροτριαθησεται και ιερουσαλημ εις αβατον εσται και το ορος του οικου εις αλσος δρυμου
[19] [33:19] μη ανελων ανειλεν αυτον εζεκιας και πας ιουδα ουχι οτι εφοβηθησαν τον κυριον και οτι εδεηθησαν του προσωπου κυριου και επαυσατο κυριος απο των κακων ων ελαλησεν επ αυτους και ημεις εποιησαμεν κακα μεγαλα επι ψυχας ημων
[20] [33:20] και ανθρωπος ην προφητευων τω ονοματι κυριου ουριας υιος σαμαιου εκ καριαθιαριμ και επροφητευσεν περι της γης ταυτης κατα παντας τους λογους ιερεμιου
[21] [33:21] και ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς ιωακιμ και παντες οι αρχοντες παντας τους λογους αυτου και εζητουν αποκτειναι αυτον και ηκουσεν ουριας και εισηλθεν εις αιγυπτον
[22] [33:22] και εξαπεστειλεν ο βασιλευς ανδρας εις αιγυπτον
[23] [33:23] και εξηγαγοσαν αυτον εκειθεν και εισηγαγοσαν αυτον προς τον βασιλεα και επαταξεν αυτον εν μαχαιρα και ερριψεν αυτον εις το μνημα υιων λαου αυτου
[24] [33:24] πλην χειρ αχικαμ υιου σαφαν ην μετα ιερεμιου του μη παραδουναι αυτον εις χειρας του λαου του μη ανελειν αυτον
