Bible. Jeremiah
24:026:005 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;
24:026:006 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this
city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
24:026:007 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard
Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
24:026:008 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.
24:026:009 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.
24:026:010 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.
24:026:011 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.
24:026:012 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.
24:026:013 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.
24:026:014 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth
good and meet unto you.
24:026:015 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.
24:026:016 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.
24:026:017 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to
all the assembly of the people, saying,
24:026:018 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.
