耶利米受审

¹约西亚的儿子犹大王约雅敬登基时，有这话从耶和华临到耶利米，说： ²“耶和华如此说：你要站在耶和华殿的院内，对犹大所有城镇的人，就是到耶和华的殿来礼拜的，传讲我所吩咐你的一切话，一字也不可删减。 ³或者他们肯听从，各人回转离开恶道，我就改变心意，不将我因他们所行的恶、想要施行的灾祸降与他们。 ⁴你要对他们说，耶和华如此说：‘你们若不听从我，不遵行我在你们面前所设立的律法， ⁵不听从我一再差遣我仆人众先知到你们那里去所说的话，你们果然没有听从， ⁶我就必使这殿如示罗，使这城成为地上万国所诅咒的。’”
⁷耶利米在耶和华殿中所说的这些话，祭司、先知与众百姓都听见了。 ⁸耶利米说完了耶和华吩咐他对众百姓说的一切话，祭司、先知与众百姓都来抓住他，说：“你该死！ ⁹你为何假借耶和华的名预言，说这殿必如示罗，这城必荒废无人居住呢？”于是众百姓都聚集在耶和华的殿中围住耶利米。
¹⁰犹大的官长们听见这些事，就从王宫上到耶和华的殿，坐在耶和华殿新门的入口。 ¹¹祭司、先知对官长和众百姓说：“这人该死，因为他说预言攻击这城，正如你们亲耳听见的。”
¹²耶利米就对官长和众百姓说：“耶和华差遣我预言攻击这殿和这城，传讲你们所听见的这一切话。 ¹³现在，要改正你们的所作所为，听从耶和华－你们上帝的话，他就必改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与你们。 ¹⁴至于我，看哪，我在你们手中，你们眼里看什么是好的，是正确的，就那样待我吧！ ¹⁵但你们要确实知道，你们若把我处死，就使流无辜人血的罪归给你们和这城，以及城里的居民了；因为耶和华确实差遣我到你们这里来，将这一切话传到你们耳中。”
¹⁶官长和众百姓对祭司和先知说：“这人是不该死的，因为他奉耶和华－我们上帝的名向我们说话。” ¹⁷国中的长老就有几个人起来，对聚集的众百姓说： ¹⁸“当犹大王希西家的日子，有摩利沙人弥迦对犹大众百姓预言说：
‘万军之耶和华如此说：
锡安要被耕种像一块田地，
耶路撒冷要变为废墟，
这殿的山必像丛林的高处。’
^19“犹大王希西家和犹大人岂是把他处死呢？希西家岂不是敬畏耶和华，恳求耶和华施恩吗？耶和华就改变心意，不把所说的灾祸降与他们。若处死这人，我们就做了大恶，害死自己了。”
²⁰有一个人，就是示玛雅的儿子基列．耶琳人乌利亚，也奉耶和华的名说预言；他说预言攻击这城和这地，和耶利米所说的完全一样。 ²¹约雅敬王和他所有的勇士、官长听见了乌利亚的话，王想要把他处死。乌利亚听见就惧怕，逃往埃及去了。 ²²约雅敬王差亚革波的儿子以利拿单，带领几个人前往埃及。 ²³他们将乌利亚从埃及带出来，解送到约雅敬王那里；王用刀杀了他，把他的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，不将他交在百姓手中，以免他们把他处死。
