Jeremiah 26 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 This message came from the Lord during the first year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah.
2 The Lord said, "Jeremiah, stand in the Temple yard of the Lord. Give this message to all the people of Judah who are coming to worship at the Temple of the Lord. Tell them everything that I tell you to speak. Don't leave out any part of my message.
3 Maybe they will listen and obey my message. Maybe they will stop living such evil lives. If they change, I will change my mind about my plans to punish them. I am planning this punishment because of the many evil things they have done.
4 You will say to them, 'This is what the Lord says: I gave my teachings to you. You must obey me and follow my teachings.
5 You must listen to what my servants say to you. (The prophets are my servants.) I have sent prophets to you again and again, but you did not listen to them.
6 If you don't obey me, I will make my Temple in Jerusalem just like my Holy Tent at Shiloh. People all over the world will think of Jerusalem when they ask for bad things to happen to other cities.'"
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say all these words at the Lord's Temple.
8 Jeremiah finished speaking everything the Lord had commanded him to say to the people. Then the priests, the prophets, and all the people grabbed Jeremiah. They said, "You will die for saying such terrible things!
9 How dare you say such a thing in the name of the Lord! How dare you say that this Temple will be destroyed like the one at Shiloh! How dare you say that Jerusalem will become a desert with no one living in it!" All the people gathered around Jeremiah in the Temple of the Lord.
10 Now the rulers of Judah heard about everything that was happening. So they came out of the king's palace. They went up to the Lord's Temple. There, they took their places at the entrance of the New Gate. The New Gate is a gate leading to the Lord's Temple.
11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and all the other people. They said, "Jeremiah should be killed. He said bad things about Jerusalem. You heard him say those things."
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers of Judah and all the other people. He said, "The Lord sent me to say these things about this Temple and this city. Everything that you have heard is from the Lord.
13 You people change your lives! You must start doing good! You must obey the Lord your God. If you do that, he will change his mind. He will not do the bad things he told you about.
14 As for me, I am in your power. Do to me what you think is good and right.
15 But if you kill me, be sure of one thing. You will be guilty of killing an innocent person. You will make this city and everyone living in it guilty too. The Lord really did send me to you. The message you heard really is from the Lord."
16 Then the rulers and all the people spoke. They said to the priests and the prophets, "Jeremiah must not be killed. What he told us comes from the Lord our God."
17 Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people.
18 They said, "Micah the prophet was from the city of Moresheth. He was a prophet during the time that Hezekiah was king of Judah. Micah said this to all the people of Judah: 'The Lord All-Powerful says: Zion will be destroyed. It will become a plowed field. Jerusalem will become a pile of rocks. Temple Mount will be an empty hill overgrown with bushes.' Micah 19"King Hezekiah of Judah and the people of Judah did not kill Micah. You know that Hezekiah respected the Lord and wanted to please him. So the Lord changed his mind and didn't do bad things to Judah that he said he would do. If we hurt Jeremiah, we will bring many troubles on ourselves. And those troubles will be our own fault."

20 In the past there was another man who spoke the Lord's message. His name was Uriah son of Shemaiah from the city of Kiriath Jearim. Uriah said the same things against this city and this land that Jeremiah did.
21 King Jehoiakim, his army officers, and the leaders of Judah heard Uriah and became angry. King Jehoiakim wanted to kill Uriah, but Uriah heard about it. Uriah was afraid, so he escaped to the land of Egypt.
22 But King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan son of Acbor and some other men to Egypt.
23 They brought Uriah from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim ordered Uriah to be killed with a sword. Uriah's body was thrown into the burial place where the poor are buried.
24 There was an important man named Ahikam son of Shaphan who supported Jeremiah. He kept Jeremiah from being killed by the priests and prophets.
1 In the beginning H7225 of the reign H4468 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 came H1961 VQQ3MS this H2088 D-PMS word H1697 D-NMS from the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
2 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Stand H5975 VQI2MS in the court H2691 of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s house H1004 CMS , and speak H1696 unto H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the cities H5892 of Judah H3063 , which come H935 to worship H7812 in the LORD H3068 EDS \'s house H1004 CMS , all H3605 NMS the words H1697 AMP that H834 RPRO I command H6680 VPQ1MS-2MS thee to speak H1696 unto H413 PREP-3MP them ; diminish H1639 not H408 NPAR a word H1697 :
3 If so be H194 ADV they will hearken H8085 VQY3MP , and turn H7725 W-VUY3MP every man H376 NMS from his evil H7451 D-AFS way H1870 M-CMS-3MS , that I may repent H5162 W-VNQ1MS me of H413 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS , which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS purpose H2803 to do H6213 L-VQFC unto them because H6440 M-CMP of the evil H7455 of their doings H4611 .
4 And thou shalt say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; If H518 PART ye will not H3808 NADV hearken H8085 to H413 PREP-1MS me , to walk H1980 L-VQFC in my law H8451 , which H834 RPRO I have set H5414 VQQ1MS before H6440 you ,
5 To hearken H8085 to H5921 PREP the words H1697 CMP of my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 , whom H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS sent H7971 unto H413 you , both rising up early H7925 , and sending H7971 them , but ye have not H3808 W-NPAR hearkened H8085 ;
6 Then will I make H5414 this H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS like Shiloh H7887 , and will make H5414 VQY1MS this H2063 city H5892 D-GFS a curse H7045 to all H3605 the nations H1471 of the earth H776 D-GFS .
7 So the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 heard H8085 W-VQY3MP Jeremiah H3414 speaking H1696 VPPMS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
8 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Jeremiah H3414 had made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS him to speak H1696 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , that the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 and all H3605 NMS the people H5971 took H8610 him , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA .
9 Why H4069 IPRO hast thou prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC , This H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS shall be H1961 VQY3MS like Shiloh H7887 , and this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 shall be desolate H2717 without H369 an inhabitant H3427 VQPMS ? And all H3605 NMS the people H5971 were gathered H6950 against H413 PREP Jeremiah H3414 in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
10 When the princes H8269 CMP of Judah H3063 heard H8085 W-VQY3MP these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP , then they came up H5927 from the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 unto the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and sat down H3427 in the entry H6607 of the new H2319 gate H8179 of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s house .
11 Then spoke H559 W-VQY3MP the priests H3548 and the prophets H5030 unto H413 PREP the princes H8269 and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , saying H559 L-VQFC , This H2088 D-PMS man H376 LD-NMS is worthy H4941 CMS to die H4194 NMS ; for H3588 CONJ he hath prophesied H5012 against H413 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , as H834 K-RPRO ye have heard H8085 with your ears H241 B-CFD-2MP .
12 Then spoke H559 W-VQY3MS Jeremiah H3414 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the princes H8269 and to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , The LORD H3068 EDS sent H7971 me to prophesy H5012 against H413 PREP this H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS and against H413 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS all H3605 NMS the words H1697 AMP that H834 RPRO ye have heard H8085 .
13 Therefore now H6258 W-ADV amend H3190 your ways H1870 and your doings H4611 , and obey H8085 the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 ; and the LORD H3068 EDS will repent H5162 him of H413 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS that H834 RPRO he hath pronounced H1696 VPQ3MS against H5921 PREP-2MP you .
14 As for me H589 W-PPRO-1MS , behold H2009 , I am in your hand H3027 : do H6213 with me as seemeth H5869 B-CMD-2MP good H2896 and meet H3477 unto you .
15 But H389 ADV know ye for certain H3045 , that H3588 CONJ if H518 PART ye H859 PPRO-2MS put me to death H4191 , ye H859 PPRO-2MS shall surely H3588 CONJ bring H5414 innocent H5355 AMS blood H1818 NMS upon H5921 PREP-2MP yourselves , and upon H413 W-PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , and upon H413 W-PREP the inhabitants H3427 thereof : for H3588 CONJ of a truth H571 the LORD H3068 EDS hath sent H7971 me unto H5921 PREP-2MP you to speak H1696 all H3605 NMS these H428 words H1697 AMP in your ears H241 .
16 Then said H559 W-VQY3MP the princes H8269 and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 unto H413 PREP the priests H3548 and to H413 PREP the prophets H5030 ; This H2088 D-PMS man H376 LD-NMS is not H369 NPAR worthy H4941 CMS to die H4194 NMS : for H3588 CONJ he hath spoken H1696 VPQ3MS to H413 PREP us in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 .
17 Then rose up H6965 certain H376 of the elders H2205 of the land H776 D-GFS , and spoke H559 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the assembly H6951 of the people H5971 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
18 Micah H4320 the Morasthite H4183 prophesied H5012 in the days H3117 B-CMP of Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and spoke H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 NMS of Judah H3063 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 ; Zion H6726 shall be plowed H2790 like a field H7704 , and Jerusalem H3389 shall become H1961 VQQ3MS heaps H5856 , and the mountain H2022 of the house H1004 D-NMS as the high places H1116 of a forest H3293 .
19 Did Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 and all H3605 W-CMS Judah H3063 put him at all to death H4191 ? did he not H3808 I-NADV fear H3372 the LORD H3068 EDS , and besought H2470 the LORD H3068 EDS , and the LORD H3068 EDS repented H5162 W-VNY3MS him of H413 PREP the evil H7451 AFS which H834 RPRO he had pronounced H1696 VPQ3MS against H5921 PREP them ? Thus might we H587 procure H6213 great H1419 AFS evil H7451 AFS against H5921 PREP our souls H5315 .
20 And there was H1961 VQQ3MS also H1571 W-CONJ a man H376 NMS that prophesied H5012 in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , Urijah H223 the son H1121 of Shemaiah H8098 of Kirjath H7157 - jearim , who prophesied H5012 against H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS and against H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS according to all H3605 K-NMS the words H1697 CMP of Jeremiah H3414 :
21 And when Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 , with all H3605 W-CMS his mighty men H1368 , and all H3605 W-CMS the princes H8269 , heard H8085 his words H1697 CMP-3MS , the king H4428 D-NMS sought H1245 to put him to death H4191 : but when Urijah H223 heard H8085 it , he was afraid H3372 , and fled H1272 W-VQY3MS , and went into H935 W-VQY3MS Egypt H4714 ;
22 And Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS men H376 NMP into Egypt H4714 , namely , Elnathan H494 the son H1121 of Achbor H5907 , and certain men H376 with H854 PREP-3MS him into H413 PREP Egypt H4714 .
23 And they fetched forth Urijah H223 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , and brought H935 him unto H413 PREP Jehoiakim H3079 the king H4428 D-NMS ; who slew H5221 him with the sword H2719 , and cast H7993 his dead body H5038 into H413 PREP the graves H6913 of the common H1121 people H5971 D-NMS .
24 Nevertheless H389 ADV the hand H3027 CFS of Ahikam H296 the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 was H1961 VQQ3FS with H854 Jeremiah H3414 , that they should not H1115 L-NPAR give H5414 VQFC him into the hand H3027 of the people H5971 to put him to death H4191 .
