Jeremiah 26:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 “[a](A)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:
“(B)Zion will be plowed like a field,
And Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins,
And the (C)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 (D)fear the Lord and plead for the favor of the Lord, and (E)the Lord relented of the disaster which He had pronounced against them? But we are (F)committing a great evil against our own lives!”
20 Indeed, there was also a man who used to prophesy in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from (G)Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land words similar to all those of Jeremiah.
