Yirmeyahu 26:16-24 ירמיהו כ״ו:ט״ז-כ״ד

Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

Mikha the Morashti prophesied in the days of Ḥizqiyyahu king of Yehuda, and spoke to all the people of Yehuda, saying, Thus says the Lord of hosts; Żiyyon shall be plowed like a field, and Yerushalayim shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

Did Ḥizqiyyahu king of Yehuda and all Yehuda put him to death? did he not rather fear the Lord, and beseech the Lord, and the Lord repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? And shall we bring such a great evil against our souls?

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriyyahu the son of Shema῾yahu of Qiryat-hayye῾arim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Yirmeyahu:

and when Yehoyaqim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Uriyyahu heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Miżrayim;

and Yehoyaqim the king sent men to Miżrayim, namely, Elnatan the son of ῾Akhbor, and others with him into Miżrayim.

And they fetched Uriyyahu out of Miżrayim, and brought him to Yehoyaqim the king, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body upon the graves of the common people.

Nevertheless the hand of Aĥiqam the son of Shafan was with Yirmeyahu, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
