1 # In the beginning <07225> of the reign <04468> of Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063> came this word <01697> from the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
2 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Stand <05975> (8798) in the court <02691> of the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, and speak <01696> (8765) unto all the cities <05892> of Judah <03063>, which come <0935> (8802) to worship <07812> (8692) in the LORD'S <03068> house <01004>, all the words <01697> that I command <06680> (8765) thee to speak <01696> (8763) unto them; diminish <01639> (8799) not a word <01697>:
3 If so be they will hearken <08085> (8799), and turn <07725> (8799) every man <0376> from his evil <07451> way <01870>, that I may repent <05162> (8738) me of the evil <07451>, which I purpose <02803> (8802) to do <06213> (8800) unto them because <06440> of the evil <07455> of their doings <04611>.
4 And thou shalt say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; If ye will not hearken <08085> (8799) to me, to walk <03212> (8800) in my law <08451>, which I have set <05414> (8804) before <06440> you,
5 To hearken <08085> (8800) to the words <01697> of my servants <05650> the prophets <05030>, whom I sent <07971> (8802) unto you, both rising up early <07925> (8687), and sending <07971> (8800) them, but ye have not hearkened <08085> (8804);
6 Then will I make <05414> (8804) this house <01004> like Shiloh <07887>, and will make <05414> (8799) this city <05892> a curse <07045> to all the nations <01471> of the earth <0776>.
7 # So the priests <03548> and the prophets <05030> and all the people <05971> heard <08085> (8799) Jeremiah <03414> speaking <01696> (8764) these words <01697> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah <03414> had made an end <03615> (8763) of speaking <01696> (8763) all that the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> (8765) him to speak <01696> (8763) unto all the people <05971>, that the priests <03548> and the prophets <05030> and all the people <05971> took <08610> (8799) him, saying <0559> (8800), Thou shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799).
9 Why hast thou prophesied <05012> (8738) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800) , This house <01004> shall be like Shiloh <07887>, and this city <05892> shall be desolate <02717> (8799) without an inhabitant <03427> (8802)? And all the people <05971> were gathered <06950> (8735) against Jeremiah <03414> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
10 When the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> heard <08085> (8799) these things <01697>, then they came up <05927> (8799) from the king's <04428> house <01004> unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and sat down <03427> (8799) in the entry <06607> of the new <02319> gate <08179> of the LORD'S <03068> house.
11 Then spake <0559> (8799) the priests <03548> and the prophets <05030> unto the princes <08269> and to all the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), This man <0376> is worthy <04941> to die <04194>; for he hath prophesied <05012> (8738) against this city <05892>, as ye have heard <08085> (8804) with your ears <0241>.
12 Then spake <0559> (8799) Jeremiah <03414> unto all the princes <08269> and to all the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), The LORD <03068> sent <07971> (8804) me to prophesy <05012> (8736) against this house <01004> and against this city <05892> all the words <01697> that ye have heard <08085> (8804).
13 Therefore now amend <03190> (8685) your ways <01870> and your doings <04611>, and obey <08085> (8798) the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>; and the LORD <03068> will repent <05162> (8735) him of the evil <07451> that he hath pronounced <01696> (8765) against you.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand <03027>: do <06213> (8798) with me as seemeth <05869> good <02896> and meet <03477> unto you.
15 But know <03045> (8799) ye for certain <03045> (8800), that if ye put me to death <04191> (8688) , ye shall surely bring <05414> (8802) innocent <05355> blood <01818> upon yourselves, and upon this city <05892>, and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof: for of a truth <0571> the LORD <03068> hath sent <07971> (8804) me unto you to speak <01696> (8763) all these words <01697> in your ears <0241>.
16 # Then said <0559> (8799) the princes <08269> and all the people <05971> unto the priests <03548> and to the prophets <05030>; This man <0376> is not worthy <04941> to die <04194>: for he hath spoken <01696> (8765) to us in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>.
17 Then rose up <06965> (8799) certain <0582> of the elders <02205> of the land <0776>, and spake <0559> (8799) to all the assembly <06951> of the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800),
18 Micah <04320> the Morasthite <04183> prophesied <05012> (8737) in the days <03117> of Hezekiah <02396> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and spake <0559> (8799) to all the people <05971> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Zion <06726> shall be plowed <02790> (8735) like a field <07704>, and Jerusalem <03389> shall become heaps <05856>, and the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> as the high places <01116> of a forest <03293>.
19 Did Hezekiah <02396> king <04428> of Judah <03063> and all Judah <03063> put him at all <04191> (8687) to death <04191> (8689)? did he not fear <03373> the LORD <03068>, and besought <02470> (8762) the LORD <03068> <06440>, and the LORD <03068> repented <05162> (8735) him of the evil <07451> which he had pronounced <01696> (8765) against them? Thus <0587> might we procure <06213> (8802) great <01419> evil <07451> against our souls <05315>.
20 And there was also a man <0376> that prophesied <05012> (8693) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, Urijah <0223> the son <01121> of Shemaiah <08098> of Kirjathjearim <07157>, who prophesied <05012> (8735) against this city <05892> and against this land <0776> according to all the words <01697> of Jeremiah <03414>:
21 And when Jehoiakim <03079> the king <04428>, with all his mighty men <01368>, and all the princes <08269>, heard <08085> (8799) his words <01697>, the king <04428> sought <01245> (8762) to put him to death <04191> (8687): but when Urijah <0223> heard <08085> (8799) it, he was afraid <03372> (8799), and fled <01272> (8799), and went <0935> (8799) into Egypt <04714>;
22 And Jehoiakim <03079> the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) men <0582> into Egypt <04714>, namely , Elnathan <0494> the son <01121> of Achbor <05907>, and certain men <0582> with him into Egypt <04714>.
23 And they fetched forth <03318> (8686) Urijah <0223> out of Egypt <04714>, and brought <0935> (8686) him unto Jehoiakim <03079> the king <04428>; who slew <05221> (8686) him with the sword <02719>, and cast <07993> (8686) his dead body <05038> into the graves <06913> of the common <01121> people <05971>.
24 Nevertheless the hand <03027> of Ahikam <0296> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227> was with Jeremiah <03414>, that they should not give <05414> (8800) him into the hand <03027> of the people <05971> to put him to death <04191> (8687).
