Jeremiah Threatened with Death

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord: (2Ki 23:36; 2Ch 36:5; Jer 27:1) 2 “Thus says the Lord: Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah that come to worship in the house of the Lord all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not hold back a word. (De 4:2; De 12:32; Jer 19:14; Eze 3:10; Ac 20:27)

De 4:2De 12:32Jer 19:14Eze 3:10Ac 20:27

3 It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the disaster that I intend to do to them because of their evil deeds. (Jer 4:4; Jer 18:8; Jer 26:13; Jer 26:19; Jer 36:3)

Jer 4:4Jer 18:8Jer 26:13Jer 26:19Jer 36:3

4 You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you, (Le 26:14; De 28:15) 5 and to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently, though you have not listened, (Jer 25:3) 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth.’” (Jer 7:12; Jer 24:9) 7 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. (Jer 23:33) 8 And when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, “You shall die! (Jer 26:7) 9 Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. (Jer 4:7; Jer 26:6) 10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the house of the Lord and took their seat in the entry of the New Gate of the house of the Lord. (Jer 36:10; Jer 36:12) 11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, “This man deserves the sentence of death, because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.” (Jer 26:7; Jer 26:16; Jer 38:4) 12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people, saying, “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the words you have heard. 13 Now therefore mend your ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of the Lord your God, and the Lord will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you. (De 30:2; Jer 7:3; Jer 26:3) 14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hands. Do with me as seems good and right to you. (Jos 9:25) 15 Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and its inhabitants, for in truth the Lord sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.” (Mt 27:24)

Jeremiah Spared from Death

16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man does not deserve the sentence of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” (Jer 26:8; Jer 26:11) 17 And certain of the elders of the land arose and spoke to all the assembled people, saying, (Jer 19:1; Ac 5:34) 18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and said to all the people of Judah: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height.’ (Mic 3:12) 19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.” (Ex 32:14; 2Sa 24:16; 1Ki 13:6; 2Ch 32:26; Ac 5:39)

Ex 32:142Sa 24:161Ki 13:62Ch 32:26Ac 5:39

20 There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. (Jos 9:17; 1Sa 6:21; 1Sa 7:1; 1Ch 13:5)

Jos 9:171Sa 6:211Sa 7:11Ch 13:5

21 And when King Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt. (Jer 26:1; Jer 27:1) 22 Then King Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, Elnathan the son of Achbor and others with him, (2Ki 22:12; 2Ki 22:14; Jer 26:21; Jer 36:12; Jer 36:25)

2Ki 22:122Ki 22:14Jer 26:21Jer 36:12Jer 36:25

23 and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, who struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people. (Ne 9:26; Jer 22:17; Mt 21:35; Mt 23:37)

Ne 9:26Jer 22:17Mt 21:35Mt 23:37

24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so that he was not given over to the people to be put to death. (2Ki 22:12)

耶利米被捕

1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬执政初期，耶和华对耶利米说： 2 “这是耶和华说的，‘你要站在我殿的院子里，把我吩咐你的话一字不漏地告诉从犹大各城前来敬拜的人。 3 或许他们会听从我的话，改邪归正，那样我会施怜悯，取消原本用来惩治他们罪恶的灾祸。 4 你要告诉他们，耶和华这样说，“如果你们不听从我的话，不遵行我赐给你们的律法， 5 不听从我屡次派我的仆人——众先知传给你们的话， 6 我必使这殿像示罗一样被毁，使耶路撒冷被万国咒诅。”’” 7 祭司、先知和民众都听见了耶利米在耶和华的殿里说的这些话。 8 耶利米传达完耶和华的话之后，祭司、先知和民众就抓住他，说：“你真该死！ 9 你为什么奉耶和华的名预言这殿必像示罗一样被毁，这城必要荒无人烟呢？”于是，他们在耶和华的殿里把耶利米围了起来。 10 犹大的首领得知后，就离开王宫，上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿新门的入口。 11 祭司和先知对官员和民众说：“这人该被处死！因为他预言这城要被毁，这是你们亲耳听到的。” 12 耶利米对官员和民众说：“你们刚才听见的这些关于这殿和这城的预言都是耶和华差我说的。 13 你们要改邪归正，听从你们上帝耶和华的话，这样耶和华必施怜悯，取消本来要降给你们的灾祸。 14 至于我，我已落在你们手中，你们认为怎样好就怎样待我吧！ 15 不过，你们要知道，如果你们置我于死地，你们和这城及城中的居民必担当滥杀无辜的罪，因为确实是耶和华派我来告诉你们这些预言的。” 16 官员和民众便对祭司和先知说：“这人不该被处死，因为他是奉我们上帝耶和华的名对我们说话。” 17 有几个长老站起来对众人说： 18 “犹大王希西迦执政期间，摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说， “‘万军之耶和华说锡安必被夷为平地，耶路撒冷必沦为废墟，圣殿山要成为一片荒林。’ 19 “但犹大王希西迦和犹大众人并没有处死他。希西迦敬畏耶和华，求祂开恩，耶和华才施怜悯，没有把原本预备的灾祸降给他们。若处死这人，我们会大祸临头。” 20 当时，基列·耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚也奉耶和华的名预言这城和这地方将被毁，内容与耶利米说的一样。 21 约雅敬王和他的王公大臣听见乌利亚的话，就想处死他。乌利亚得知后，吓得逃到埃及去了。 22 约雅敬王便派亚革波的儿子以利拿单率随从去埃及捉拿他。 23 他们把乌利亚从埃及押到约雅敬王面前，王用刀杀了他，把尸首抛在平民的坟地中。 24 然而，沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米，他才没被交给民众处死。
