Jeremiah 26:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 Then (A)some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 18 “[a](B)Micah of Moresheth used to prophesy in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies has said:
“(C)Zion will be plowed like a field,
And Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins,
And the (D)mountain of the house like the [b]high places of a forest.”’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah actually put him to death? Did he not (E)fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and (F)the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are (G)committing a great evil against our own lives!”
