WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.220 Chapter 26. 00:02.320 --> 00:05.940 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of 00:05.940 --> 00:08.460 Judah, came this word from the Lord, saying, 00:30.000 --> 00:33.960 I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. 00:34.080 --> 00:38.860 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not hearken to me to 00:38.860 --> 00:43.260 walk in my law, which I have set before you, to hearken to the words of my 00:43.260 --> 00:48.440 servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early and sending 00:48.440 --> 00:53.100 them, which ye have not hearkened, then will I make this house like Shiloh, 00:53.580 --> 00:56.420 and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. 00:57.420 --> 01:02.040 So the priests and the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house 01:02.040 --> 01:02.640 of the Lord. 01:03.460 --> 01:07.820 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord 01:07.820 --> 01:12.220 had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets 01:12.220 --> 01:16.020 and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. 01:16.580 --> 01:20.980 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like 01:20.980 --> 01:24.320 Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant. 01:25.040 --> 01:28.220 And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. 01:29.260 --> 01:33.040 When the princess of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's 01:33.040 --> 01:36.760 house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate 01:36.760 --> 01:37.660 of the Lord's house. 01:38.520 --> 01:42.140 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, 01:42.260 --> 01:47.440 saying, This man is worthy to die, for he hath prophesied against this city, 01:47.920 --> 01:49.440 as ye have heard with your ears. 01:50.380 --> 01:53.540 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, 01:54.160 --> 01:58.680 The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words 01:58.680 --> 01:59.500 that ye have heard. 02:00.600 --> 02:04.300 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord 02:04.300 --> 02:08.580 your God, and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against 02:08.580 --> 02:08.900 you. 02:09.740 --> 02:12.460 As for me, behold, I am in your hand. 02:13.140 --> 02:15.840 Do with me as seemeth good, and meet unto you. 02:16.820 --> 02:21.020 But know ye for certain that if ye put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent 02:21.020 --> 02:25.120 blood upon yourselves and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof. 02:26.440 --> 02:30.720 For of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. 02:31.960 --> 02:34.860 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets, 02:35.520 --> 02:39.920 This man is not worthy to die, for he hath spoken to us in the name of 02:39.920 --> 02:40.840 the Lord our God. 02:41.780 --> 02:45.800 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the 02:45.800 --> 02:51.120 people, saying, Micah the Moresthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of 02:51.120 --> 02:55.800 Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of 02:55.800 --> 03:00.680 hosts, Zion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, 03:01.100 --> 03:04.160 and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. 03:05.180 --> 03:08.840 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? 03:09.600 --> 03:11.900 Did he not fear the Lord and besought the Lord? 03:12.320 --> 03:15.500 And the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them. 03:16.440 --> 03:19.440 Thus might we procure great evil against our souls. 03:20.260 --> 03:24.060 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah, 03:24.300 --> 03:29.000 the son of Shimea, of Kiajath-jerim, who prophesied against this city and 03:29.000 --> 03:31.720 against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah. 03:32.700 --> 03:36.760 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes, 03:37.220 --> 03:40.180 heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. 03:40.900 --> 03:45.180 But when Uriah heard it, he was afraid and fled, and went into Egypt. 03:46.360 --> 03:51.360 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely El Nathan, the son of 03:51.360 --> 03:54.220 Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. 03:55.120 --> 04:00.580 And they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king, 04:00.860 --> 04:04.440 who slew him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common 04:04.440 --> 04:04.820 people. 04:05.580 --> 04:09.700 Nevertheless, the hand of Jehoiakim, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, 04:10.520 --> 04:13.540 that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
