26:1 In the beginning 7225 of the reign 4468 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah 3063 came this word 1697 from the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800,

26:2 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Stand 5975 8798 in the court 2691 of the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, and speak 1696 8765 unto all the cities 5892 of Judah 3063, which come 935 8802 to worship 7812 8692 in the LORD'S 3068 house 1004, all the words 1697 that I command 6680 8765 thee to speak 1696 8763 unto them; diminish 1639 8799 not a word 1697:

26:3 If so be they will hearken 8085 8799, and turn 7725 8799 every man 376 from his evil 7451 way 1870, that I may repent 5162 8738 me of the evil 7451, which I purpose 2803 8802 to do 6213 8800 unto them because 6440 of the evil 7455 of their doings 4611.

26:4 And thou shalt say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; If ye will not hearken 8085 8799 to me, to walk 3212 8800 in my law 8451, which I have set 5414 8804 before 6440 you,

26:5 To hearken 8085 8800 to the words 1697 of my servants 5650 the prophets 5030, whom I sent 7971 8802 unto you, both rising up early 7925 8687, and sending 7971 8800 [them], but ye have not hearkened 8085 8804;

26:6 Then will I make 5414 8804 this house 1004 like Shiloh 7887, and will make 5414 8799 this city 5892 a curse 7045 to all the nations 1471 of the earth 776.

26:7 So the priests 3548 and the prophets 5030 and all the people 5971 heard 8085 8799 Jeremiah 3414 speaking 1696 8764 these words 1697 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

26:8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah 3414 had made an end 3615 8763 of speaking 1696 8763 all that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 8765 [him] to speak 1696 8763 unto all the people 5971, that the priests 3548 and the prophets 5030 and all the people 5971 took 8610 8799 him, saying 559 8800, Thou shalt surely 4191 8800 die 4191 8799.

26:9 Why hast thou prophesied 5012 8738 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800, This house 1004 shall be like Shiloh 7887, and this city 5892 shall be desolate 2717 8799 without an inhabitant 3427 8802? And all the people 5971 were gathered 6950 8735 against Jeremiah 3414 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

26:10 When the princes 8269 of Judah 3063 heard 8085 8799 these things 1697, then they came up 5927 8799 from the king's 4428 house 1004 unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and sat down 3427 8799 in the entry 6607 of the new 2319 gate 8179 of the LORD'S 3068 [house].(in the…: or, at the door)

26:11 Then spake 559 8799 the priests 3548 and the prophets 5030 unto the princes 8269 and to all the people 5971, saying 559 8800, This man 376 [is] worthy 4941 to die 4194; for he hath prophesied 5012 8738 against this city 5892, as ye have heard 8085 8804 with your ears 241.(This man…: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man)

26:12 Then spake 559 8799 Jeremiah 3414 unto all the princes 8269 and to all the people 5971, saying 559 8800, The LORD 3068 sent 7971 8804 me to prophesy 5012 8736 against this house 1004 and against this city 5892 all the words 1697 that ye have heard 8085 8804.

26:13 Therefore now amend 3190 8685 your ways 1870 and your doings 4611, and obey 8085 8798 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; and the LORD 3068 will repent 5162 8735 him of the evil 7451 that he hath pronounced 1696 8765 against you.

26:14 As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand 3027: do 6213 8798 with me as seemeth 5869 good 2896 and meet 3477 unto you.(as…: Heb. as it is good and right in your eyes)

26:15 But know 3045 8799 ye for certain 3045 8800, that if ye put me to death 4191 8688, ye shall surely bring 5414 8802 innocent 5355 blood 1818 upon yourselves, and upon this city 5892, and upon the inhabitants 3427 8802 thereof: for of a truth 571 the LORD 3068 hath sent 7971 8804 me unto you to speak 1696 8763 all these words 1697 in your ears 241.

26:16 Then said 559 8799 the princes 8269 and all the people 5971 unto the priests 3548 and to the prophets 5030; This man 376 [is] not worthy 4941 to die 4194: for he hath spoken 1696 8765 to us in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 our God 430.

26:17 Then rose up 6965 8799 certain 582 of the elders 2205 of the land 776, and spake 559 8799 to all the assembly 6951 of the people 5971, saying 559 8800,

26:18 Micah 4320 the Morasthite 4183 prophesied 5012 8737 in the days 3117 of Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and spake 559 8799 to all the people 5971 of Judah 3063, saying 559 8800, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Zion 6726 shall be plowed 2790 8735 [like] a field 7704, and Jerusalem 3389 shall become heaps 5856, and the mountain 2022 of the house 1004 as the high places 1116 of a forest 3293.

26:19 Did Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063 and all Judah 3063 put him at all 4191 8687 to death 4191 8689? did he not fear 3373 the LORD 3068, and besought 2470 8762 the LORD 3068 6440, and the LORD 3068 repented 5162 8735 him of the evil 7451 which he had pronounced 1696 8765 against them? Thus 587 might we procure 6213 8802 great 1419 evil 7451 against our souls 5315.(the LORD, and the: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc)

26:20 And there was also a man 376 that prophesied 5012 8693 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, Urijah 223 the son 1121 of Shemaiah 8098 of Kirjathjearim 7157, who prophesied 5012 8735 against this city 5892 and against this land 776 according to all the words 1697 of Jeremiah 3414:

26:21 And when Jehoiakim 3079 the king 4428, with all his mighty men 1368, and all the princes 8269, heard 8085 8799 his words 1697, the king 4428 sought 1245 8762 to put him to death 4191 8687: but when Urijah 223 heard 8085 8799 it, he was afraid 3372 8799, and fled 1272 8799, and went 935 8799 into Egypt 4714;

26:22 And Jehoiakim 3079 the king 4428 sent 7971 8799 men 582 into Egypt 4714, [namely], Elnathan 494 the son 1121 of Achbor 5907, and [certain] men 582 with him into Egypt 4714.

26:23 And they fetched forth 3318 8686 Urijah 223 out of Egypt 4714, and brought 935 8686 him unto Jehoiakim 3079 the king 4428; who slew 5221 8686 him with the sword 2719, and cast 7993 8686 his dead body 5038 into the graves 6913 of the common 1121 people 5971.(common…: Heb. sons of the people)

26:24 Nevertheless the hand 3027 of Ahikam 296 the son 1121 of Shaphan 8227 was with Jeremiah 3414, that they should not give 5414 8800 him into the hand 3027 of the people 5971 to put him to death 4191 8687.
