耶利米书 25-26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
预言被掳七十年
25 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬执政第四年，即巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒元年，耶和华告诉了耶利米有关犹大百姓的事。 2 耶利米先知对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说： 3 “从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚执政第十三年，到今天已有二十三年。在这期间，我不断把耶和华对我说的话传给你们，你们却充耳不闻。 4 耶和华屡次差遣祂的仆人——众先知警告你们，你们却充耳不闻，毫不理会。 5 他们对你们说，‘要改邪归正，停止作恶，以便可以永远住在耶和华赐给你们和你们祖先的土地上。 6 不要随从、供奉、祭拜其他神明，不要制造神像惹耶和华发怒，免得祂惩罚你们。’” 7 耶和华说：“然而，你们不听我的话，制造神像惹我发怒，自招惩罚。”
8 因此，万军之耶和华说：“由于你们不遵行我的命令， 9 我要召集北方各族和我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，去攻击这片土地和其中的居民以及周围各国。我要彻底毁灭他们，使他们的下场很可怕、令人嗤笑、土地永远荒凉。这是耶和华说的。 10 我要使他们的欢乐声、新郎新娘的欢笑声、推磨声和灯光都消失。 11 整片土地要变得荒凉可怕，他们要臣服于巴比伦王七十年。 12 七十年后，我要报应巴比伦王和他国民迦勒底人的罪，使他们的土地永远荒凉。这是耶和华说的。 13 我借耶利米所说有关列国的预言都记在这书上了，我的话必应验在他们的土地上。 14 他们必受许多国家和强大君王的奴役，我要按他们的所作所为报应他们。”
上帝审判列国
15 以色列的上帝耶和华对我说：“你从我手中接过这盛满我烈怒的酒杯，到我差遣你去的国家给他们喝。 16 他们喝了这杯烈怒后必东倒西歪、行为疯狂，因为我要使战祸临到他们。” 17 于是，我从耶和华手中接过杯，奉祂的差遣到列国去给他们喝。 18 我给耶路撒冷和犹大的城邑，以及犹大的君王和官员喝这杯烈怒，使他们的城邑沦为废墟，令人惊惧，被嘲笑和咒诅，正如今日一样。 19 喝这杯烈怒的还有埃及王法老及其王公大臣和全体百姓， 20 他们当中所有的外族人，乌斯的众王和统治亚实基伦、迦萨、以革伦以及亚实突余民的非利士众王， 21 以东、摩押和亚扪人， 22 泰尔的众王、西顿的众王和海岛上的众王， 23 底但、提玛、布斯和所有剃鬓发的人， 24 阿拉伯的众王和荒野各族的诸王， 25 心利的众王、以拦的众王和玛代的众王， 26 北方诸王——无论远近、一个接一个，以及天下万国，最后是巴比伦王。 27 耶和华对我说：“你要告诉他们，以色列的上帝——万军之耶和华说，‘你们要喝这杯烈怒，喝得大醉、呕吐、倒地不起，因为我要使战争临到你们。’ 28 如果他们不肯从你手中接过杯来喝，你就告诉他们，万军之耶和华说，‘你们必须喝！ 29 看啊，我已在属我的城中降下灾祸，难道你们可以逃脱惩罚吗？你们必逃不过惩罚，因为我要使战争临到天下万民。’这是万军之耶和华说的。 30 耶利米啊，你要告诉他们这些预言，
“‘耶和华要在高天怒吼，
从祂的圣所发出雷鸣；
祂要向祂的子民怒吼，
向地上的居民吶喊，
好像踩踏葡萄的人一样。
31 耶和华的声音传到地极，
因为祂要指控列国，审判万民，
使恶人丧身刀下。
这是耶和华说的。’”
32 万军之耶和华说：
“看啊，灾难正蔓延到列国，
有暴风从地极卷起。”
33 到那日，遍地都是被耶和华杀戮的人，无人哀悼、收殓和埋葬，他们好像地上的粪便。
34 你们这群牧人啊，要悲哀哭泣！
你们这群百姓的首领啊，
要在灰尘中伤心地打滚！
因为你们被宰杀、驱散的时候到了，
你们将像精美的器皿一样被摔得粉碎。
35 牧人必无路可逃，
百姓的首领必无处藏身。
36 听听牧人的哭喊，
百姓首领的哀号吧，
因为耶和华正在毁灭他们的家园。
37 因为耶和华的烈怒，
宁静的草场变得一片荒凉。
38 耶和华离开了祂的居所，
就像狮子离开了洞穴。
他们的土地因刀剑的蹂躏和耶和华的烈怒而一片荒凉。
耶利米被捕
26 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬执政初期，耶和华对耶利米说： 2 “这是耶和华说的，‘你要站在我殿的院子里，把我吩咐你的话一字不漏地告诉从犹大各城前来敬拜的人。 3 或许他们会听从我的话，改邪归正，那样我会施怜悯，取消原本用来惩治他们罪恶的灾祸。 4 你要告诉他们，耶和华这样说，“如果你们不听从我的话，不遵行我赐给你们的律法， 5 不听从我屡次派我的仆人——众先知传给你们的话， 6 我必使这殿像示罗一样被毁，使耶路撒冷被万国咒诅。”’”
7 祭司、先知和民众都听见了耶利米在耶和华的殿里说的这些话。 8 耶利米传达完耶和华的话之后，祭司、先知和民众就抓住他，说：“你真该死！ 9 你为什么奉耶和华的名预言这殿必像示罗一样被毁，这城必要荒无人烟呢？”于是，他们在耶和华的殿里把耶利米围了起来。
10 犹大的首领得知后，就离开王宫，上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿新门的入口。 11 祭司和先知对官员和民众说：“这人该被处死！因为他预言这城要被毁，这是你们亲耳听到的。”
12 耶利米对官员和民众说：“你们刚才听见的这些关于这殿和这城的预言都是耶和华差我说的。 13 你们要改邪归正，听从你们上帝耶和华的话，这样耶和华必施怜悯，取消本来要降给你们的灾祸。 14 至于我，我已落在你们手中，你们认为怎样好就怎样待我吧！ 15 不过，你们要知道，如果你们置我于死地，你们和这城及城中的居民必担当滥杀无辜的罪，因为确实是耶和华派我来告诉你们这些预言的。”
16 官员和民众便对祭司和先知说：“这人不该被处死，因为他是奉我们上帝耶和华的名对我们说话。” 17 有几个长老站起来对众人说： 18 “犹大王希西迦执政期间，摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众人预言说，
“‘万军之耶和华说锡安必被夷为平地，
耶路撒冷必沦为废墟，
圣殿山要成为一片荒林。’
19 “但犹大王希西迦和犹大众人并没有处死他。希西迦敬畏耶和华，求祂开恩，耶和华才施怜悯，没有把原本预备的灾祸降给他们。若处死这人，我们会大祸临头。”
20 当时，基列·耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚也奉耶和华的名预言这城和这地方将被毁，内容与耶利米说的一样。 21 约雅敬王和他的王公大臣听见乌利亚的话，就想处死他。乌利亚得知后，吓得逃到埃及去了。 22 约雅敬王便派亚革波的儿子以利拿单率随从去埃及捉拿他。 23 他们把乌利亚从埃及押到约雅敬王面前，王用刀杀了他，把尸首抛在平民的坟地中。 24 然而，沙番的儿子亚希甘保护耶利米，他才没被交给民众处死。
耶利米书 25-26
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
责犹大人不听 神的警告
25 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒第一年，有话临到耶利米，是关于犹大众民的。 2 耶利米先知就把这话告诉犹大众民和耶路撒冷所有的居民，说： 3 “从犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚第十三年直到今日，这二十三年来，常有耶和华的话临到我，我也不断对你们传讲，你们却不听从。 4 耶和华虽然不断差遣他的仆人众先知到你们那里去；但你们却没有听从，毫不留心。 5 他们对你们说：‘你们各人要悔改，离开自己的恶道和邪恶的行为，就可以住在耶和华赐给你们和你们列祖的土地上，直到永永远远。’”
6 “你们不要随从别的神，不要事奉敬拜他们，也不可容你们手所作的惹我发怒；这样，我就不会使祸患临到你们。 7 但你们没有听从我，竟容你们手所作的惹我发怒，自招祸害。”这是耶和华的宣告。
预言被掳七十年
8 因此，万军之耶和华这样说：“因为你们没有听从我的话， 9 看哪！我要打发人去征召北方的众族，和我的仆人巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒，领他们来攻击这地和这地的居民，以及周围的列国；我要把他们彻底消灭，使他们成为令人惊骇，受人嗤笑的对象，和永远荒废的地方。”这是耶和华的宣告。 10 “我要从他们中间除掉欢喜和快乐的声音，新郎和新妇的声音，推磨的声音和灯的亮光。 11 这地要全变为荒废，令人惊骇；这些国家要服事巴比伦王七十年。
事后惩罚巴比伦
12 “七十年满了以后，我要按着他们的罪孽惩罚巴比伦王和那国，就是迦勒底人之地，使它永远荒凉。”这是耶和华的宣告。 13 “我必使我所说攻击那地的一切话应验在那地；我所说的，就是一切记录在这书上的，是耶利米攻击列国所说的预言。 14 因为许多国家和大君王将要奴役迦勒底人，我必按着他们的作为和他们手所作的报应他们。”
神审判列国
15 耶和华以色列的 神对我这样说：“你从我的手中拿这杯烈怒的酒，给列国喝，就是我差遣你去的列国。 16 他们喝了，就会东倒西歪，疯狂乱性，因为我打发刀剑到他们中间去。” 17 于是我从耶和华的手中接过这杯，给列国喝，就是耶和华差遣我去的列国， 18 包括耶路撒冷、犹大的城镇，和她的君王、领袖，使这些城镇荒废，成为令人惊骇、被人嗤笑、咒骂的对象，好象今天一样。 19 又包括法老，就是埃及王，和他的臣仆、王侯，以及全体人民， 20 并所有外族的人；还有乌斯地的众王、非利士人之地的众王，就是亚实基伦、迦萨，以革伦和亚实突余剩的人的王； 21 并有以东、摩押、亚扪、 22 推罗的列王、西顿的列王、海外岛屿的列王、 23 底但、提玛、布斯，所有剃除鬓发的部落、 24 阿拉伯的列王、住在沙漠的外族人的列王、 25 心利的列王、以拦的列王、玛代的列王、 26 北方远近的列王，一个一个，以及地上的万国，就是在这地面上的列国，都喝了；他们喝了以后，示沙克王也要喝。
27 “你要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华以色列的 神这样说：你们要喝，并要喝醉，呕吐，以致跌倒，不能再起来，因为我打发刀剑到你们中间去。’ 28 如果他们不肯从你的手中接过这杯来喝，你就要对他们说：‘万军之耶和华这样说：你们一定要喝。 29 因为，看哪！我既然在那称为我名下的城中先降灾祸，你们真可免受惩罚吗？你们必不能免受惩罚，因为我要呼唤刀剑来攻击这地所有的居民。’”这是万军之耶和华的宣告。
30 “因此你要对他们宣讲这一切话，对他们说：
‘耶和华必从高天吼叫，
从他的圣所发声；
他必大声吼叫攻击自己的羊圈；
他要对地上所有的居民呼喊，
像那些踹葡萄的人呼喊一样。
31 吶喊的声音要传到地极，
因为耶和华要控告列国，
也要审判万人；
至于恶人，他必把他们交给刀剑。’”
这是耶和华的宣告。
32 万军之耶和华这样说：
“看哪！必有灾祸发出，
从这国直到那国；
必有大风暴从地极刮起。”
33 到那日，从地的这边到地的那边，都必有被耶和华刺死的人；必没有人为他们悲哀，没有人收殓他们、埋葬他们；他们都必在地面上成为粪肥。
34 牧人啊，你们要哀号，呼叫！
羊群的领袖啊，你们要在灰尘中打滚！
因为你们被宰杀的日子已经到了；
我要粉碎你们，
你们要跌倒，像珍贵的器皿跌碎一样。
35 牧人无处逃避，
羊群的领袖无法逃脱。
36 听啊！牧人的哀叫，
羊群的领袖的悲号，
因为耶和华正在毁坏他们的牧场。
37 因为耶和华猛烈的怒气，
平静的羊圈毁坏了。
38 他像狮子离开了洞穴，
他们的国土实在变成荒野，
因为欺压人的刀剑（“刀剑”有古抄本作“猛烈”），
和他猛烈的怒气临到他们。
警告人民悔改
26 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬开始执政的时候，有这话从耶和华那里临到耶利米，说： 2 “耶和华这样说：‘你要站在耶和华殿的院子里，对来自犹大各城，到耶和华殿敬拜的人，把我吩咐你对他们说的一切话，一字不漏告诉他们。 3 或者他们肯听从，各人转离自己的恶道，我就回心转意，不把我因为他们的恶行原想要施行的灾祸，降给他们。 4 你要对他们说：耶和华这样说：如果你们不听从我，不遵行我设立在你们面前的律法， 5 不听从我差遣到你们那里去的我的仆人众先知的话（我不断差遣他们，但你们一直都不听从）， 6 我就必使这殿像示罗一样，使这城成为地上列国咒诅的对象。’”
耶利米受审
7 耶利米在耶和华殿里所说的这些话，众祭司、众先知和众民都听见了。 8 耶利米说完了耶和华吩咐他对众民所说的一切话，众祭司、众先知和众民就抓住他，说：“你必要死！ 9 你为甚么奉耶和华的名预言，说：‘这殿必像示罗一样，这城必变为荒场，没有人居住呢？’”于是众民在耶和华的殿里集合到耶利米那里。
10 犹大的领袖听见了这些事，就从王宫上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿里新门的入口。 11 祭司和先知对领袖和众民说：“这人应该处死，因为他说预言攻击这城，正如你们亲耳听见的。” 12 耶利米对众领袖和众民说：“耶和华差遣我预言你们所听见，一切攻击这殿和这城的话。 13 现在，你们要改善你们所行所作的，听从耶和华你们的 神的话，耶和华就必回心转意，不把所说的灾祸降给你们。 14 至于我，我在你们手中；你们看怎样好，怎样对，就怎样待我吧！ 15 不过你们要确实知道，如果你们杀死我，就必使无辜的人的血归到你们和这城，以及这城的居民头上，因为耶和华实在差遣了我到你们中间，把这一切话传到你们耳中。”
领袖人民均为耶利米辩护
16 于是众领袖和众民对祭司和先知说：“这人不应该处死，因为他奉耶和华我们 神的名对我们说话。” 17 那地的长老中有几个人起来，对集合在场的全体人民说： 18 “在犹大王希西家的日子，摩利沙人弥迦对犹大的众民说预言：‘万军之耶和华这样说：锡安要像田地被耕犁，耶路撒冷必成为废墟，这殿的山必变为杂树丛生的高冈。’ 19 犹大王希西家和犹大众人可曾把他处死呢？希西家不是敬畏耶和华，求他开恩，以致耶和华回心转意，没有把他所说的灾祸降在他们身上吗？但我们现在竟自招大祸。”
乌利亚被杀
20 曾有一个人，就是基列．耶琳人示玛雅的儿子乌利亚，他奉耶和华的名说预言，攻击这城和这地，他的预言和耶利米所说的一样。 21 约雅敬王和他所有的勇士，以及犹大的众领袖听见了乌利亚的话，王就想要杀他。乌利亚听见了，就惧怕，就逃往埃及去。 22 约雅敬王打发人到埃及去，就是派亚革波的儿子以利拿单和一些人同到埃及去。 23 他们就把乌利亚从埃及带出来，送到约雅敬王那里。王用刀杀死他，把他的尸体拋在平民的坟地里。
亚希甘维护耶利米
24 然而沙番的儿子亚希甘却保护耶利米，不许人把耶利米交在人民的手中处死。
Jeremiah 25-26
King James Version
25 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
26 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 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; diminish not a word:
3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the Lord's house.
11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
17 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
