Jeremiah 26:8-9
26:8 Jeremiah had just barely finished saying all the
Lord had commanded him to say to all the people. All at once some
of the priests, the prophets, and the people grabbed him and shouted, “You deserve to die!
26:9 How dare you claim the
Lord’s authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!”
Then all the people crowded around Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 26:20-23
26:20 Now there was another man who prophesied as the Lord’s representative against this city and this land just as Jeremiah did. His name was Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim.
26:21 When the king and all his bodyguards and officials heard what he was prophesying, the king sought to have him executed. But Uriah found out about it and fled to Egypt out of fear.
26:22 However, King Jehoiakim sent some men to Egypt, including Elnathan son of Achbor,
26:23 and they brought Uriah back from there. They took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him executed and had his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
