Jeremiah 26:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 26:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
17 Some of the elders of the land got up and spoke to all the assembled people.
18 Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He proclaimed this to all the people of Judah.
This is what the Lord of Armies says.
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a ruin,
and the temple mount will be a high place overgrown with trees.[a]
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone at all in Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear the Lord and seek his favor? And didn’t the Lord relent from the disaster he had pronounced against them? We would be committing a great evil against our own souls[b] that way!
