Jeremiah 26:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
26 2 Jeremiah moveth the people to repentance. 7 He is taken of the false prophets and priests, and brought to judgment. 23 Urijah the Prophet is killed of Jehoiakim contrary to the will of God.
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah King of Judah, came this word from the Lord, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the [a]court of the Lord’s House, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord’s House, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them: keep not [b]a word back,
3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may [c]repent me of the plague, which I have determined to bring upon them because of the wickedness of their works.
