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 door. people, saying, This man is worthy to Is. 66, 16. die; for he hath prophesied against this The judg-city, as ye have heard with your ears. ment of 12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the deathisfor princes, and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to propliesy against this house, and against this city, all the words that ye have heard. this man. ch. 3. 4, 5. & Re.14.19.20. ter. it is good in your vessel of desire. flight shall the thep- e Ps. 76. 2.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Zion shall be plowedd like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. B. C. 610. a Ac. 5. 34, &c.

Thus might we procurei 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 Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah: k 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, heo was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt. 22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Ach-p bor, 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. CHAP. XXVII. IN N the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakin the son of Josial king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying Thus saith the LORD to me, Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah; 4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye Say unto your masters; 51 have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power, and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. 6 And now have I given all these lands in to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him, 11. 2 Ch. 32.26. face of the LORD. 2 Sa, 24. 16. ch. 28. 1. 38. 17.
