Jeremiah 26:16-24

16Then saidH559 the princesH8269 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophetsH5030: This manH376 is notH369 worthyH4941 of deathH4194; for he hath spokenH1696 to usH413 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430. 17Then roseH6965 upH6965 certainH376 of the eldersH2205 of the landH776, and spake to allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 18MicaiahH4320 the Morashtite prophesiedH5012 in the daysH3117 of HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; and he spake to allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: ZionH6726 shall be plowedH2790 as a fieldH7704, and JerusalemH3389 shall becomeH1961 heaps, and the mountainH2022 of the houseH1004 as the highH1116 placesH1116 of a forestH3293. 19DidH6213 HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and allH3605 JudahH3063 putH4191 him at allH3605 to deathH4191? didH6213 he notH3808 fearH3373 the LORDH3068, and entreatH2470 the favour of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451 whichH834 he had pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 them? ThusH4191 should weH587 commit greatH1419 evilH7451 againstH5921 our ownH6440 soulsH5315, 20And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UriahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of Kiriath-jearimH7157; and he prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 this cityH5892 and againstH5921 this landH776 accordingH5921 to allH3605 the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414: 21and when JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428, with allH3605 his mightyH1368 menH1368, and allH3605 the princesH8269, heardH8085 his wordsH1697, the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to putH4191 him to deathH4191; but when UriahH223 heardH8085 it, he was afraidH3372, and fledH1272, and wentH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714: 22and JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971 menH376 intoH413 EgyptH4714, namely, ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and certainH376 menH376 with him, intoH413 EgyptH4714: 23and they fetched forthH3318 UriahH223 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221 him with the swordH2719, and castH7993 his deadH5038 bodyH5038 intoH413 the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. 24But the handH3027 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 was with JeremiahH3414, that they should notH1115 giveH5414 him intoH3027 the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 to putH5414 him to deathH4191.
