¶ The .xxvj. Chapter.
¶ Ieremy moueth the people to amendement. He
is tak&ebar; of the prophetes and prestes, and brought
to iudgment. Uriah the prophete is kylled of Ioachim,
contrary to the wyll of God.
A In the begynninge of the raygne of
Iehoakim the s&obar;ne of Iosiah kyng
of Iuda, came thys worde fr&obar; the
Lorde, sayinge: Thus sayeth the
Lorde: note Stande in the court of the Lordes
house, and speake vnto all them which (oute
of the cyties of Iuda) come to do worshyp in
the Lordes house, all the wordes that I c&obar;maunde
the to saye. noteLoke that thou kepe
not one worde backe, yf peraduenture they
wyll herken, and turne euery man from hys
wycked waye: note that I maye also repente
of the plage, which I haue determyned to
brynge vpon them, because of theyr wicked
inuencyons.
B And after thys maner shalt thou speake
vnto them: Thus sayth the Lorde: yf ye will
not obey me, to walke in my lawes, which
I haue geuen you, and to heare the wordes
of my seruauntes the prophetes, wh&obar; I sent
vnto you, rysynge vp tymely, and styll sendynge.
If ye wyll not folowe them (I saye)
then I wyll do to thys house note &rhand; as I dyd
vnto Siloh, and wyll make thys citye to be
abhorred of all the people of the earth. And
the preastes, the prophetes and all the people
hearde Ieremy preache these wordes, in
the house of the Lorde.
Nowe when he had spoken out all the
wordes that the Lorde commaunded him to
preach vnto the people, then the prestes, the
prophetes and all the people toke holde vp&obar;
him, and sayde: thou shalt dye. Howe darest
thou be so bolde, as to saye in the name of þe;
Lorde, it shall happ&ebar; to thys house as it dyd
vnto Siloh: and thys citye shalbe so waste,
that no man shall dwell therin?
C And when all the people were gathered
about Ieremy in the house of the Lorde, the
princes of Iuda hearde of this rumour, and
they came soone oute of the kynges palace,
into the house of the Lord: and sat th&ebar; downe
before the note newe dore of the Lorde. Then
spake the prestes and the prophetes vnto the
rulers and to all the people, these wordes:
note Thys man is worthy to dye,
D for he hath
preached agaynst thys citye, as ye youre selues
haue hearde with your eares.
Then sayde Ieremy vnto the rulers and
to all the people: The Lorde hath sent me to
preache agaynst this house and agaynst this
cytie all the wordes þt; ye haue heard. Therfore
amende youre wayes, and youre aduysementes,
and be obedient vnto the voyce of
the Lorde youre God: so shall the Lorde repente
of the plage, that he hath deuised agaynst
you. Nowe as for me: I am in your h&abar;des,
do with me, as ye thynke expedient and
good. But this shall ye knowe: yf ye put me
to death, note ye shall make youre selues, thys
citye and all the inhabytours therof, gyltye
of innocent bloude.
E For thys is of a trueth
that þe; Lorde hath sent me vnto you, to speake
all these wordes in youre eares.
Then sayde the rulers and the people vnto
the prestes and prophetes: This m&abar; maye
not be cond&ebar;pned to death, for he hath preached
vnto vs in the name of the Lorde oure
God. The elders also of the lande stode vp,
and saide thus vnto all the people: Micheah
the Morasthite, note which was a prophet vnder
Ezekiah kynge of Iuda, spake to all the
people of Iuda. Thus sayeth the Lorde of
hostes: note Syon shalbe plowed lyke a felde,
Ierusal&ebar; shalbe an heape of stones,
F and the
hyll of the Lordes house shalbe turned to an
hye wod. Dyd Ezekiah the kynge of Iuda,
and the people of Iuda put hym to death for
this? No verely: note but rather feared þe; Lord,
and made theyr prayer vnto hym. For the
which cause also the Lorde repented of the
plage, that he had deuysed agaynst them.
Shulde we then do soch a shamefull dede agaynst
oure soules?
G There was a prophete
also, that preached styfly in the name of the
Lorde, called Uriah the sonne of Semeiah
of Cariathiarim: this man preached also agaynst
this citye and agaynst this lande, according
-- --
to all as Ieremy sayth. Nowe wh&ebar;
note Iehoakim the kinge with all the estates ∧
prynces had hearde hys wordes, the kynge
went about to slaye hym. noteWhen Uriah
perceaued that, he was afrayed, and fledd,
and departed into Egipte.
Then Iehoakim the kinge sent seruauntes
into the lande of Egypt, namely Elnathan
the sonne of Achbor, and certayne men
with hym into Egipt, which fetched Uriah
out of Egipt, and brought him vnto kynge
Iehoakim, that slewe him with the sweard,
and cast hys deed bodye into the comen peoples
graue. But Ahikam the sonne of Saphan
helped Ieremye, that he came not into
the handes of the people to be slayne.
