Jeremiah 26:17-19

17Then 1some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 18“23Micah 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: “4Zion will be plowed like a field, And Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins, And the 5mountain of the house like the 6high places of a forest.”’ 19Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah actually put him to death? Did he not 7fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and 8the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are 9committing a great evil against our own lives!”
