mkjv@Jeremiah:26:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD, saying,

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:2 @ So says the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD's house and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not keep back a word.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:3 @ It may be that they will listen, and each man turn from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil which I plan to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:4 @ And you shall say to them, So says the LORD: If you will not listen to Me, to walk in My law which I have set before you,

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:5 @ to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I am sending to you (both rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened);

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:6 @ then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:7 @ So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:8 @ And it happened when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall surely die!

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:9 @ Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be wasted, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:10 @ When the rulers of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entrance of the New Gate of the LORD's [house].

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:11 @ And the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, [Let] a death sentence be for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:12 @ Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:13 @ So now make your ways and your doings good, and obey the voice of the LORD your God. And the LORD will repent of the evil that He has spoken against you.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:14 @ As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand. Do with me as seems good and right to you.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:15 @ But know for certain that if you put me to death you shall surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its people. For truly the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:16 @ Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, There [is] not a sentence of death for this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:17 @ Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:18 @ Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, So says Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house like the high places of a forest.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:19 @ Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah indeed put him to death? Did he not fear the LORD, and pray to the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which He had spoken against them? So we are doing great evil against our souls.

mkjv@Jeremiah:26:20 @ And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:2 @ So says the LORD to me, Make bonds and yokes for yourself, and put them on your neck.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:3 @ And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:4 @ And command them to [go to] their masters, So says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: So you shall say to your masters,

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:5 @ I have made the earth, man, and the animals on the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to Me.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:6 @ And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant. And I have also given him the beast of the field to serve him.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:7 @ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land comes. And then many nations and great kings shall enslave him.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:8 @ And it shall be, the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says the LORD, with the sword and with the famine, and with the plague, until I have destroyed them by his hand.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:9 @ As for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your fortune tellers, nor to your dreamers, nor to your conjurers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:10 @ For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out and you should perish.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:11 @ But the nations who bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those I will leave it on their own land, says the LORD. And [they] shall work it and dwell in it.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:12 @ I also spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:13 @ Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the plague, as the LORD has spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:14 @ Therefore do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy a lie to you.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:15 @ For I have not sent them, says the LORD; yet they prophesy a lie in My name, so that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:16 @ Also I spoke to the priests and to all the people, saying, So says the LORD, Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon. For they prophesy a lie to you.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:17 @ Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. For why should this city be laid waste?

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:18 @ But if they [are] prophets, and if the Word of the LORD is with them, let them now pray to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:19 @ For so says Jehovah of hosts, concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels which remain in this city,

mkjv@Jeremiah:27:20 @ which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he exiled Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
