26:1 In
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
this
word
came
from
the
LORD:
26:2 "Thus
says
the
LORD:
Stand
in
the
court
of
the
LORD's
house,
and
speak
to
all
the
cities
of
Judah
that
come
to
worship
in
the
house
of
the
LORD
all
the
words
that
I
command
you
to
speak
to
them;
do
not
hold
back
a
word.
26:3 It
may
be
they
will
listen,
and
every
one
turn
from
his
evil
way,
that
I
may
relent
of
the
disaster
that
I
intend
to
do
to
them
because
of
their
evil
deeds.
26:4 You
shall
say
to
them,
'Thus
says
the
LORD:
If
you
will
not
listen
to
me,
to
walk
in
my
law
that
I
have
set
before
you,
26:5 and
to
listen
to
the
words
of
my
servants
the
prophets
whom
I
send
to
you
urgently,
though
you
have
not
listened,
26:6 then
I
will
make
this
house
like
Shiloh,
and
I
will
make
this
city
a
curse
for
all
the
nations
of
the
earth.'"
26:7 The
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
heard
Jeremiah
speaking
these
words
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
26:8 And
when
Jeremiah
had
finished
speaking
all
that
the
LORD
had
commanded
him
to
speak
to
all
the
people,
then
the
priests
and
the
prophets
and
all
the
people
laid
hold
of
him,
saying,
"You
shall
die!
26:9 Why
have
you
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
saying,
'This
house
shall
be
like
Shiloh,
and
this
city
shall
be
desolate,
without
inhabitant'"
And
all
the
people
gathered
around
Jeremiah
in
the
house
of
the
LORD.
26:10 When
the
officials
of
Judah
heard
these
things,
they
came
up
from
the
king's
house
to
the
house
of
the
LORD
and
took
their
seat
in
the
entry
of
the
New
Gate
of
the
house
of
the
LORD.
26:11 Then
the
priests
and
the
prophets
said
to
the
officials
and
to
all
the
people,
"This
man
deserves
the
sentence
of
death,
because
he
has
prophesied
against
this
city,
as
you
have
heard
with
your
own
ears."
26:12 Then
Jeremiah
spoke
to
all
the
officials
and
all
the
people,
saying,
"The
LORD
sent
me
to
prophesy
against
this
house
and
this
city
all
the
words
you
have
heard.
26:13 Now
therefore
mend
your
ways
and
your
deeds,
and
obey
the
voice
of
the
LORD
your
God,
and
the
LORD
will
relent
of
the
disaster
that
he
has
pronounced
against
you.
26:14 But
as
for
me,
behold,
I
am
in
your
hands.
Do
with
me
as
seems
good
and
right
to
you.
26:15 Only
know
for
certain
that
if
you
put
me
to
death,
you
will
bring
innocent
blood
upon
yourselves
and
upon
this
city
and
its
inhabitants,
for
in
truth
the
LORD
sent
me
to
you
to
speak
all
these
words
in
your
ears."
26:16 Then
the
officials
and
all
the
people
said
to
the
priests
and
the
prophets,
"This
man
does
not
deserve
the
sentence
of
death,
for
he
has
spoken
to
us
in
the
name
of
the
LORD
our
God."
26:17 And
certain
of
the
elders
of
the
land
arose
and
spoke
to
all
the
assembled
people,
saying,
26:18 "Micah
of
Moresheth
prophesied
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,
and
said
to
all
the
people
of
Judah:
'Thus
says
the
LORD
of
hosts,
"'Zion
shall
be
plowed
as
a
field;
Jerusalem
shall
become
a
heap
of
ruins,
and
the
mountain
of
the
house
a
wooded
height.'
26:19 Did
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah
and
all
Judah
put
him
to
death
Did
he
not
fear
the
LORD
and
entreat
the
favor
of
the
LORD,
and
did
not
the
LORD
relent
of
the
disaster
that
he
had
pronounced
against
them
But
we
are
about
to
bring
great
disaster
upon
ourselves."
26:20 There
was
another
man
who
prophesied
in
the
name
of
the
LORD,
Uriah
the
son
of
Shemaiah
from
Kiriath-jearim.
He
prophesied
against
this
city
and
against
this
land
in
words
like
those
of
Jeremiah.
26:21 And
when
King
Jehoiakim,
with
all
his
warriors
and
all
the
officials,
heard
his
words,
the
king
sought
to
put
him
to
death.
But
when
Uriah
heard
of
it,
he
was
afraid
and
fled
and
escaped
to
Egypt.
26:22 Then
King
Jehoiakim
sent
to
Egypt
certain
men,
Elnathan
the
son
of
Achbor
and
others
with
him,
26:23 and
they
took
Uriah
from
Egypt
and
brought
him
to
King
Jehoiakim,
who
struck
him
down
with
the
sword
and
dumped
his
dead
body
into
the
burial
place
of
the
common
people.
26:24 But
the
hand
of
Ahikam
the
son
of
Shaphan
was
with
Jeremiah
so
that
he
was
not
given
over
to
the
people
to
be
put
to
death.
