Jeremiah 26:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 ¶ Then rose up certain of the Elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 Micah the Morashite (A)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 be an heap, and the mountain of the [a]house shall be as the high places of the forest.
19 Did Hezekiah King of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the [b]plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
