Jeremiah 26:16
This man is not worthy to die - The whole court acquitted him.
14 As for me, here aI am, in your hand; do with me as seems good and1 proper to you.
15 But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing.”
16 So the princes and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man does not deserve to die. For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
17 aThen certain of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:
18 a“Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
b“Zion shall be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem shall become cheaps of ruins,
And the mountain of the1 temple
Like the1 bare hills of the forest.” ’
b“Zion shall be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem shall become cheaps of ruins,
And the mountain of the1 temple
Like the1 bare hills of the forest.” ’
