Jeremiah 26:18-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 “[a](A)Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Thus the Lord of hosts has said,
“(B)Zion will be plowed as a field,
And Jerusalem will become ruins,
And the (C)mountain of the house as the [b]high places of a forest.”’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not (D)fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, and (E)the Lord [c]changed His mind about the misfortune which He had pronounced against them? But we are (F)committing a great evil against ourselves.”
20 Indeed, there was also a man who prophesied 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.

New International Version
18 “Micah(A) of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“‘Zion(B) will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble,(C)
the temple hill(D) a mound overgrown with thickets.’[a](E)
19 “Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did not Hezekiah(F) fear the Lord and seek(G) his favor? And did not the Lord relent,(H) so that he did not bring the disaster(I) he pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster(J) on ourselves!”
20 (Now Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim(K) was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord; he prophesied the same things against this city and this land as Jeremiah did.
