Jeremiah 26:1-21

26:1

In the beginning
<07225>

of the reign
<04468>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

came this word
<01697>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

26:2

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Stand
<05975> (8798)

in the court
<02691>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

and speak
<01696> (8765)

unto all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which come
<0935> (8802)

to worship
<07812> (8692)

in the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_,

all the words
<01697>

that I command
<06680> (8765)

thee to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto them; diminish
<01639> (8799)

not a word
<01697>_:

26:3

If so be they will hearken
<08085> (8799)_,

and turn
<07725> (8799)

every man
<0376>

from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_,

that I may repent
<05162> (8738)

me of the evil
<07451>_,

which I purpose
<02803> (8802)

to do
<06213> (8800)

unto them because
<06440>

of the evil
<07455>

of their doings
<04611>_.

26:4

And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

If ye will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

to me, to walk
<03212> (8800)

in my law
<08451>_,

which I have set
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

you,

26:5

To hearken
<08085> (8800)

to the words
<01697>

of my servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_,

whom I sent
<07971> (8802)

unto you, both rising up early
<07925> (8687)_,

and sending
<07971> (8800)

[them], but ye have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)_;

26:6

Then will I make
<05414> (8804)

this house
<01004>

like Shiloh
<07887>_,

and will make
<05414> (8799)

this city
<05892>

a curse
<07045>

to all the nations
<01471>

of the earth
<0776>_.

26:7

So the priests
<03548>

and the prophets
<05030>

and all the people
<05971>

heard
<08085> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

speaking
<01696> (8764)

these words
<01697>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

26:8

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah
<03414>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of speaking
<01696> (8763)

all that the LORD
<03068>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

[him] to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

that the priests
<03548>

and the prophets
<05030>

and all the people
<05971>

took
<08610> (8799)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_.

26:9

Why hast thou prophesied
<05012> (8738)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This house
<01004>

shall be like Shiloh
<07887>_,

and this city
<05892>

shall be desolate
<02717> (8799)

without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_?

And all the people
<05971>

were gathered
<06950> (8735)

against Jeremiah
<03414>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

26:10

When the princes
<08269>

of Judah
<03063>

heard
<08085> (8799)

these things
<01697>_,

then they came up
<05927> (8799)

from the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and sat down
<03427> (8799)

in the entry
<06607>

of the new
<02319>

gate
<08179>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

[house]. {in the...: or, at the door}

26:11

Then spake
<0559> (8799)

the priests
<03548>

and the prophets
<05030>

unto the princes
<08269>

and to all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This man
<0376>

[is] worthy
<04941>

to die
<04194>_;

for he hath prophesied
<05012> (8738)

against this city
<05892>_,

as ye have heard
<08085> (8804)

with your ears
<0241>_.

{This man...: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}

26:12

Then spake
<0559> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

unto all the princes
<08269>

and to all the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8804)

me to prophesy
<05012> (8736)

against this house
<01004>

and against this city
<05892>

all the words
<01697>

that ye have heard
<08085> (8804)_.

26:13

Therefore now amend
<03190> (8685)

your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>_,

and obey
<08085> (8798)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

will repent
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>

that he hath pronounced
<01696> (8765)

against you.

26:14

As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand
<03027>_:

do
<06213> (8798)

with me as seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

and meet
<03477>

unto you. {as...: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes}

26:15

But know
<03045> (8799)

ye for certain
<03045> (8800)_,

that if ye put me to death
<04191> (8688)_,

ye shall surely bring
<05414> (8802)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

upon yourselves, and upon this city
<05892>_,

and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof: for of a truth
<0571>

the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me unto you to speak
<01696> (8763)

all these words
<01697>

in your ears
<0241>_.

26:16

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the princes
<08269>

and all the people
<05971>

unto the priests
<03548>

and to the prophets
<05030>_;

This man
<0376>

[is] not worthy
<04941>

to die
<04194>_:

for he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

to us in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

26:17

Then rose up
<06965> (8799)

certain
<0582>

of the elders
<02205>

of the land
<0776>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

to all the assembly
<06951>

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

26:18

Micah
<04320>

the Morasthite
<04183>

prophesied
<05012> (8737)

in the days
<03117>

of Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

to all the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_;

Zion
<06726>

shall be plowed
<02790> (8735)

[like] a field
<07704>_,

and Jerusalem
<03389>

shall become heaps
<05856>_,

and the mountain
<02022>

of the house
<01004>

as the high places
<01116>

of a forest
<03293>_.

26:19

Did Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

and all Judah
<03063>

put him at all
<04191> (8687)

to death
<04191> (8689)_?

did he not fear
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and besought
<02470> (8762)

the LORD
<03068> <06440>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>

which he had pronounced
<01696> (8765)

against them? Thus
<0587>

might we procure
<06213> (8802)

great
<01419>

evil
<07451>

against our souls
<05315>_.

{the LORD, and the: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}

26:20

And there was also a man
<0376>

that prophesied
<05012> (8693)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Urijah
<0223>

the son
<01121>

of Shemaiah
<08098>

of Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,

who prophesied
<05012> (8735)

against this city
<05892>

and against this land
<0776>

according to all the words
<01697>

of Jeremiah
<03414>_:

26:21

And when Jehoiakim
<03079>

the king
<04428>_,

with all his mighty men
<01368>_,

and all the princes
<08269>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

his words
<01697>_,

the king
<04428>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to put him to death
<04191> (8687)_:

but when Urijah
<0223>

heard
<08085> (8799)

it, he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>_;
