Jeremiah 26:17-23

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!”

20Indeed, there was also a man who used to prophesy in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from 10Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah. 21When King Jehoiakim and all his warriors and all the officials heard his words, then the 11king sought to put him to death; but Uriah heard about it, and he was afraid, so he 12fled and went to Egypt. 22Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: 13Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him, to Egypt. 23And they brought Uriah from Egypt and led him to King Jehoiakim, who 14killed him with a sword and threw his dead body into the 15burial place of the 16common people.
