Jeremiah 26:17-19
New King James Version
17 (A)Then certain of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying: 18 (B)“Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(C)“Zion shall be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem shall become (D)heaps of ruins,
And the mountain of the [a]temple
Like the [b]bare hills of the forest.” ’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah ever put him to death? (E)Did he not fear the Lord and (F)seek the Lord’s favor? And the Lord (G)relented concerning the doom which He had pronounced against them. (H)But we are doing great evil against ourselves.”
