11Then the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 1spokeH559 to the officialsH8269 and to allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “A 2deathH4194 sentenceH4941 for thisH2088 manH376! For he has prophesiedH5012 3againstH413 thisH2088 cityH5892, justH3512 asH3512 you have heardH8085 with your own earsH241!”
12Then JeremiahH3414 spokeH559 to allH3605 the officialsH8269 and to allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “4The LordH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 againstH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 and againstH413 thisH2088 cityH5892 allH3605 the wordsH1697 that you have heardH8085. 13NowH6258 then, 5reformH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611 and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; and the LordH3068 will relentH5162 of the disasterH7463 whichH834 He has pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 you. 14But as for me, beholdH2009, 6I am in your handsH3027; doH6213 with me as is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in your sightH5869. 15OnlyH389 knowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that ifH518 you putH4191 me toH4191 deathH4191, you will bringH5414 7innocentH5355 bloodH1818 on yourselves, and on thisH2088 cityH5892 and its inhabitantsH3427; for trulyH571 the LordH3068 has sentH7971 me to you to speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 8so that you hearH241 them.”
16Then the officialsH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 9saidH559 to the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030, “NoH369 10deathH4194 sentenceH4941 for thisH2088 manH376! For he has spokenH1696 to us in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 our GodH430.” 17Then 11someH376 of the eldersH2205 of the landH776 roseH6965 upH6965 and spokeH559 to allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 18“1213MicahH4318 of MoreshethH4183 used to prophesyH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and he spokeH559 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has saidH559: “14ZionH6726 will be plowedH2790 like a fieldH7704, And JerusalemH3389 will becomeH1961 heapsH5856 ofH5856 ruinsH5856, And the 15mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 like the 16highH1116 placesH1116 of a forestH3293.”’ 19Did HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and allH3605 JudahH3063 actuallyH4191 putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191? Did he not 17fearH3372 the LordH3068 and pleadH2470 forH2470 the favorH6440 of the LordH3068, and 18the LordH3068 relentedH5162 of the disasterH7463 whichH834 He had pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 them? But we are 19committingH6213 a greatH1419 evilH7463 againstH5921 our own livesH5315!”
