¹⁷ Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, ^(A)“Is that you, O ^(B)troubler of Israel?”

²⁵ And Joshua said, ^(A)“Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” ^(B)So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

²⁰ So Ahab said to Elijah, ^(A)“Have you found me, O my enemy?”

And he answered, “I have found you, because ^(B)you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord:

⁶ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, ^(A)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

^5 (A)For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

Amaziah’s Complaint

¹⁰ Then Amaziah the ^(A)priest of ^(B)Bethel sent to ^(C)Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to ^[a]bear all his words.

⁴ Therefore the princes said to the king, “Please, ^(A)let this man be put to death, for thus he ^[a]weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the ^[b]welfare of this people, but their harm.”

⁸ Now it happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You will surely die! ⁹ Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be ^(A)desolate, without an inhabitant’?” And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
