Chap. XXVI.
note
The prophet for preaching Gods commination, 7. is apprehended by the
priestes, and false prophetes: 10. but deliuered from death by the ancientes
of the people: 18. alleaging the examples of Michæas, 20. and Vrias
prophecying the same before.
1 In the beginning of the kingdom of Ioakim the sonne
of Iosias king of Iuda, came this word from our Lord, saying:
2 Thus saith our Lord: Stand in the court of the house
of our Lord, and thou shalt speake to al the note cities of Iuda,
out of the which they come, to adore in the house of our
Lord, al the wordes which I haue commanded thee to speake
vnto them: withdraw not a word,
3 noteif perhaps they wil
heare and be conuerted euerie one from his euil way: and it
may repent me of the euil that I thinke to doe to them for the
malice of their studies.
4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus
saith our Lord: If you wil not heare me to walke in my law,
which I haue geuen you,
5 that you heare the wordes of my
seruants the prophetes, which I sent to you in the night rising,
and directing, and you heard not:
6 I wil geue this house as
Silo, and this citie I wil geue into malediction to al the nations
of the earth.
7 And the priestes, and prophetes, and al the
people heard Ieremie speaking these wordes in the house of
our Lord.
8 And when Ieremie had ended speaking al thinges
that our Lord had commanded him, to speake vnto al the
people: the priestes, and prophetes, and note al the people apprehended
him, saying: Let him dye the death.
9 Why hath he
prophecied in the name of our Lord, saying: This house shal
be as Silo: and this citie shal be made desolate, for that there
is no inhabitant? And al the people was gathered together
against Ieremie in the house of our Lord.
10 And the princes
of Iuda heard these wordes: and they went vp from the kings
house into the house of our Lord, and sate in the entrie of the
new gate of the house of our Lord.
11 And the priestes and
the prophetes spake to the princes, and to al the people, saying:
The iudgement of death is to this man: because he hath
prophecied against this citie, as you haue heard with your
-- --
eares.
12 And Ieremie spake to al the princes, and to al the
people, saying: Our Lord sent me, that I should prophecie to
this house, & to this citie al the wordes that you haue heard.
13 Now therfore make your waies good, and your studies, &
heare the voice of our Lord your God: and our Lord wil repent
him of the euil, that he hath spoken against you.
14 But
I loe am in your handes: doe vnto me that which is good, and
right in your eyes:
15 Howbeit know ye and vnderstand that
if you kil me, you shal betray innocent bloud against your
selues, and against this citie, and the inhabitantes therof. For
in truth our Lord sent me to you, that I should speake al these
wordes in your eares.
16 And the princes, and note al the people
said to the priestes, and to the prophetes: There is no iudgement
of death to this man: because he hath spoken to vs in
the name of the Lord our God.
17 Men therefore of the ancients
of the land rose vp: and they spake to al the assemblie
of the people, saying:
18 Michæas the Morasthi was a prophet
in the daies of Ezechias the king of Iuda, and he spake to al
the people Iuda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hostes: Sion
shal be plowed as a field, and Ierusalem shal be as an heape of
stones: and the mount of the house as the high places of
woodes.
19 Did Ezechias the king of Iuda, and al Iuda, condemne
him to death? Did they not feare our Lord, and beseech
the face of our Lord: and it repented our Lord of the euil, that
he had spoken against them? Therefore we doe great euil
against our selues.
20 There was also a man prophecying in
the name of our Lord, Vrias the sonne of Semei of Cariathiarim:
and he prophecied against this citie, and against this land
according to al the wordes of Ieremie.
21 And king Ioakim,
and al his mighties, and his princes heard these wordes: & the
king sought to kil him. And Vrias heard, and was afraied, and
fled and went into Ægypt.
22 And king Ioakim sent men into
Ægypt, Elnathan the sonne of Achobor, and men with him
into Ægypt.
23 And they brought Vrias out of Ægypt: and
brought him to king Ioakim, and he stroke him with the
sword: and he cast forth his carcasse in the sepulchers of the
base vulgar people.
24 Therefore the hand of Ahicam the
sonne of Saphan was with Ieremie, that he should not be deliuered
into the handes of the people, and they kil him.
