Jeremiah 26:19 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 This message came to Jeremiah from the LORD early in the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah.
2 "This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard in front of the Temple of the LORD, and make an announcement to the people who have come there to worship from all over Judah. Give them my entire message; include every word.
3 Perhaps they will listen and turn from their evil ways. Then I will change my mind about the disaster I am ready to pour out on them because of their sins.
4 "Say to them, 'This is what the LORD says: If you will not listen to me and obey my word I have given you,
5 and if you will not listen to my servants, the prophets-- for I sent them again and again to warn you, but you would not listen to them--
6 then I will destroy this Temple as I destroyed Shiloh, the place where the Tabernacle was located. And I will make Jerusalem an object of cursing in every nation on earth.'"
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people listened to Jeremiah as he spoke in front of the LORD's Temple.
8 But when Jeremiah had finished his message, saying everything the LORD had told him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people at the Temple mobbed him. "Kill him!" they shouted.
9 "What right do you have to prophesy in the LORD's name that this Temple will be destroyed like Shiloh? What do you mean, saying that Jerusalem will be destroyed and left with no inhabitants?" And all the people threatened him as he stood in front of the Temple.
10 When the officials of Judah heard what was happening, they rushed over from the palace and sat down at the New Gate of the Temple to hold court.
11 The priests and prophets presented their accusations to the officials and the people. "This man should die!" they said. "You have heard with your own ears what a traitor he is, for he has prophesied against this city."
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to the officials and the people in his own defense. "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this Temple and this city," he said. "The LORD gave me every word that I have spoken.
13 But if you stop your sinning and begin to obey the LORD your God, he will change his mind about this disaster that he has announced against you.
14 As for me, I am in your hands-- do with me as you think best.
15 But if you kill me, rest assured that you will be killing an innocent man! The responsibility for such a deed will lie on you, on this city, and on every person living in it. For it is absolutely true that the LORD sent me to speak every word you have heard."
16 Then the officials and the people said to the priests and prophets, "This man does not deserve the death sentence, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
17 Then some of the wise old men stood and spoke to all the people assembled there.
18 They said, "Remember when Micah of Moresheth prophesied during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah. He told the people of Judah, 'This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Mount Zion will be plowed like an open field; Jerusalem will be reduced to ruins! A thicket will grow on the heights where the Temple now stands.'
19 But did King Hezekiah and the people kill him for saying this? No, they turned from their sins and worshiped the LORD. They begged him for mercy. Then the LORD changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had pronounced against them. So we are about to do ourselves great harm."
20 At this time Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim was also prophesying for the LORD. And he predicted the same terrible disaster against the city and nation as Jeremiah did.
21 When King Jehoiakim and the army officers and officials heard what he was saying, the king sent someone to kill him. But Uriah heard about the plan and escaped in fear to Egypt.
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan son of Acbor to Egypt along with several other men to capture Uriah.
23 They took him prisoner and brought him back to King Jehoiakim. The king then killed Uriah with a sword and had him buried in an unmarked grave.
24 Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan stood up for Jeremiah and persuaded the court not to turn him over to the mob to be killed.
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 .
