Jeremiah 26:16-24
16Then the officialsH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 toldH559 the priestsH3548H413 and prophetsH5030, “ThisH2088 manH376 is notH369 worthyH4941 of deathH4194, forH3588 he has spokenH1696 to usH413 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430!”
17Some of the eldersH2205 of the landH776 stood upH6965H582 and saidH559 toH413 the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971H559, 18“MicahH4320 the MoreshiteH4183 prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and toldH559H413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063 that this is whatH3541H559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:
19Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 or anyone elseH3605 in JudahH3063 put him to deathH4191? Did Hezekiah notH3808 fearH3373 the LORDH3068 and seekH2470 His favorH6440, and did not the LORDH3068 relentH5162 ofH413 the disasterH7451 He had pronouncedH1696 against themH5921? But weH587 are about to bringH6213 greatH1419 harmH7451 onH5921 ourselvesH5315!”
20Now there wasH1961 another manH376H1571 prophesyingH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UriahH223 sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 fromH7157 Kiriath-jearimH7157. He prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 thisH2063 cityH5892 and againstH5921 thisH2063 landH776 the same thingsH3605H1697 that JeremiahH3414 did.2 21KingH4428 JehoiakimH3079 and allH3605 his mighty menH1368 andH3605 officialsH8269 heardH8085 his wordsH1697, and the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to put him to deathH4191. But when UriahH223 found out about itH8085, he fledH1272 in fearH3372 and wentH935 to EgyptH4714.
22Then KingH4428 JehoiakimH3079 sentH7971 menH582 to EgyptH4714: ElnathanH494 sonH1121 of AchborH5907 along withH854H413 some other menH582. 23They broughtH3318 UriahH223 out of EgyptH4714 and took himH935 toH413 KingH4428 JehoiakimH3079, who had him putH5221 to the swordH2719 and his bodyH5038 thrownH7993 intoH413 the burial placeH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971.
24NeverthelessH389, AhikamH296 sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 supportedH3027H1961H854 JeremiahH3414, so he was notH1115 handed over toH5414 the peopleH5971 to be put to deathH4191.
