Jeremiah 26:16-19

16Then the officials and all the people 1said to the priests and the prophets, “No 2death sentence for this man! For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” 17Then 3some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 18“45Micah of Moresheth used to prophesy in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies has said: “6Zion will be plowed like a field, And Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins, And the 7mountain of the house like the 8high places of a forest.”’ 19Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah actually put him to death? Did he not 9fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and 10the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are 11committing a great evil against our own lives!”
