Jeremiah Threatened With Death
26 Early in the reign of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard(B) of the Lord’s house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the Lord.(C) Tell(D) them everything I command you; do not omit(E) a word. 3 Perhaps they will listen and each will turn(F) from their evil ways. Then I will relent(G) and not inflict on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done. 4 Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen(H) to me and follow my law,(I) which I have set before you, 5 and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened(J)), 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh(K) and this city a curse[a](L) among all the nations of the earth.’”
7 The priests, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these words in the house of the Lord. 8 But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the Lord had commanded(M) him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized(N) him and said, “You must die!(O) 9 Why do you prophesy in the Lord’s name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?”(P) And all the people crowded(Q) around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 When the officials(R) of Judah heard about these things, they went up from the royal palace to the house of the Lord and took their places at the entrance of the New Gate(S) of the Lord’s house. 11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man should be sentenced to death(T) because he has prophesied against this city. You have heard it with your own ears!”(U)
12 Then Jeremiah said to all the officials(V) and all the people: “The Lord sent me to prophesy(W) against this house and this city all the things you have heard.(X) 13 Now reform(Y) your ways and your actions and obey(Z) the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent(AA) and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. 14 As for me, I am in your hands;(AB) do with me whatever you think is good and right. 15 Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood(AC) on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words(AD) in your hearing.”
16 Then the officials(AE) and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death!(AF) He has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
17 Some of the elders of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of people, 18 “Micah(AG) of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“‘Zion(AH) will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(AI)
the temple hill(AJ) a mound overgrown with thickets.’[b](AK)
19 “Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah(AL) fear the Lord and seek(AM) his favor? And did not the Lord relent,(AN) so that he did not bring the disaster(AO) he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster(AP) on ourselves!”
20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim(AQ) was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did. 21 When King Jehoiakim(AR) and all his officers and officials(AS) heard his words, the king was determined to put him to death.(AT) But Uriah heard of it and fled(AU) in fear to Egypt. 22 King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan(AV) son of Akbor to Egypt, along with some other men. 23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him struck down with a sword(AW) and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.)(AX)
24 Furthermore, Ahikam(AY) son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, and so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.

King James Version
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.

Jeremías amenazado de muerte
26 Al comienzo del reinado[a] de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, vino este mensaje del SEÑOR: 2 «Esto dice el SEÑOR: “Párate en el patio del templo del SEÑOR y háblale a la gente que viene de las ciudades de Judá a adorar en el templo del SEÑOR. Diles todo el mensaje que te he ordenado que les digas, sin omitir ni una sola palabra. 3 A lo mejor te hacen caso y abandonan su maldad. Si lo hacen, entonces desistiré de hacerles el mal con el que tenía planeado castigarlos por culpa de su maldad. 4 Les dirás que esto dice el SEÑOR: Si no me obedecen ni viven de acuerdo con las leyes que les he dado, 5 ni hacen caso a las palabras de mis siervos los profetas que he estado enviando una y otra vez, y a quienes ustedes no han obedecido, 6 entonces haré con este templo lo mismo que hice con Siló[b] y convertiré a esta ciudad en un modelo de maldición para todas las naciones de la tierra”».
7 Los sacerdotes, los profetas y todo el pueblo escucharon a Jeremías decir estas palabras en el templo del SEÑOR. 8 Cuando Jeremías acabó de decirle al pueblo todo lo que el SEÑOR le había ordenado que dijera, los sacerdotes, los profetas y todo el pueblo lo agarraron y le dijeron: «Vas a morir. 9 ¿Por qué profetizas en el nombre del SEÑOR diciendo que a este templo le sucederá como a Siló y que esta ciudad será destruida y quedará deshabitada?» Y todo el pueblo se amontonó alrededor de Jeremías en el templo del SEÑOR.
10 Al oír todo esto, los jefes de Judá se dirigieron desde el palacio del rey a la casa del SEÑOR. Se sentaron en la entrada de la Puerta Nueva del templo del SEÑOR. 11 Los sacerdotes y los profetas les dijeron a los jefes y a todo el pueblo: «Este hombre debe ser sentenciado a muerte porque con nuestros propios oídos hemos escuchado que ha profetizado en contra de esta ciudad».
12 Entonces Jeremías les dijo a todos los jefes y a todo el pueblo: «El SEÑOR me envió a profetizar contra este templo y contra esta ciudad todo el mensaje que ustedes han escuchado. 13 Ahora arreglen su vida y sus hechos, y obedezcan al SEÑOR su Dios. Tal vez el SEÑOR cambie de opinión con respecto al desastre que ha anunciado en contra de ustedes. 14 En cuanto a mí, yo estoy en sus manos; hagan conmigo lo que bien les parezca. 15 Pero en todo caso, sepan muy bien que si me matan, estarán manchando con sangre inocente sus manos, la ciudad y sus habitantes. La verdad es que el SEÑOR me envió a decirles claramente todo lo que escucharon».
16 Los jefes y todo el pueblo les dijeron a los sacerdotes y a los profetas: «Este hombre no debe ser sentenciado a muerte porque nos ha hablado en nombre del SEÑOR nuestro Dios». 17 Entonces se pusieron de pie algunos de los ancianos de Judá y les dijeron a todos los que estaban allí reunidos: 18 (A)«Miqueas de Moréset solía profetizar en los días de Ezequías, rey de Judá, y le dijo a todo el pueblo de Judá:
“Esto dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso:
Sion será un terreno arado,
Jerusalén un montón de ruinas,
y el monte del templo se convertirá
en una colina[c] cubierta de bosque”.[d]
19 »¿Acaso el rey Ezequías y el pueblo de Judá lo mataron? ¿No tuvo temor del SEÑOR y buscó la aprobación del SEÑOR y el SEÑOR desistió del castigo que les había anunciado? ¿Es que vamos a causarnos nosotros mismos un mal tan grande?»
20 Hubo otro hombre llamado Urías hijo de Semaías, de Quiriat Yearín, quien también profetizaba en el nombre del SEÑOR contra esta ciudad y contra este país, diciendo lo mismo que Jeremías. 21 Cuando el rey Joacim, todos sus oficiales y todos sus altos funcionarios escucharon sus palabras, el rey procuró matarlo; pero Urías se enteró, tuvo temor y escapó a Egipto. 22 Entonces el rey Joacim envió a Egipto a Elnatán hijo de Acbor con algunos hombres. 23 Ellos sacaron a Urías de Egipto y lo llevaron al rey Joacim, quien lo mandó matar a filo de espada e hizo arrojar el cuerpo a la fosa común.
24 Pero Ajicán hijo de Safán protegió a Jeremías y evitó que fuera entregado en manos del pueblo para que lo mataran.
