Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and chief official in the temple of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

“But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by myself ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration ​— ​that this house will become a ruin.' ”

This is what the LORD of Armies says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They are deluding you. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the LORD's mouth.

“Therefore, take note! I am against the prophets” ​— ​the LORD's declaration ​— ​“who steal my words from each other.

“I will bring on that land all my words I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book that Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations.

“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The LORD roars from on high;

he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling.

He roars loudly over his grazing land;

he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the LORD's temple and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all Judah's cities that are coming to worship there. Do not hold back a word.

The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of the LORD.

Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy all the words that you have heard against this temple and city.

“But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its residents, for it is certain the LORD has sent me to speak all these things directly to you.”

Another man was also prophesying in the name of the LORD ​— ​Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like all those of Jeremiah.

I spoke to King Zedekiah of Judah in the same way: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, serve him and his people, and live!

For this is what the LORD says: “When seventy years for Babylon are complete, I will attend to you and will confirm my promise concerning you to restore you to this place.

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Write on a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you,

So the prophet Jeremiah related all these words to King Zedekiah of Judah in Jerusalem

“This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Go, say to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, ‘Will you not accept discipline by listening to my words? ​— ​this is the LORD's declaration.

“Take a scroll, and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations from the time I first spoke to you during Josiah's reign until today.

So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. At Jeremiah's dictation,[fn] Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.

So Baruch son of Neriah did everything the prophet Jeremiah had commanded him. At the LORD's temple he read the LORD's words from the scroll.

Then at the LORD's temple, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the LORD's temple, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read Jeremiah's words from the scroll.

Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.

When they had heard all the words, they turned to each other in fear and said to Baruch, “We must surely tell the king all these things.”

Then, after depositing the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, the officials came to the king at the courtyard and reported everything in the hearing of the king.

As they heard all these words, the king and all his servants did not become terrified or tear their clothes.

After the king had burned the scroll and the words Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation,[fn] the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe, and he wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation[fn] all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim, Judah's king, had burned in the fire. And many other words like them were added.

He and his officers and the people of the land did not obey the words of the LORD that he spoke through the prophet Jeremiah.

Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jucal[fn] son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah heard the words Jeremiah was speaking to all the people:

The officials then said to the king, “This man ought to die, because he is weakening the morale[fn] of the warriors who remain in this city and of all the people by speaking to them in this way. This man is not pursuing the welfare of this people, but their harm.”

All the officials did come to Jeremiah, and they questioned him. He reported the exact words to them the king had commanded, and they quit speaking with him because the conversation[fn] had not been overheard.

“Go tell Ebed-melech the Cushite, ‘This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words for disaster and not for good against this city. They will take place before your eyes on that day.

So the prophet Jeremiah said to them, “I have heard. I will now pray to the LORD your God according to your words, and I will tell you every word that the LORD answers you; I won't withhold a word from you.”

When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God ​— ​all these words the LORD their God had sent him to give them ​— ​

But Jeremiah responded to all the people ​— ​the men, women, and all the people who were answering him:

This is the word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation[fn] in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

Jeremiah wrote on one scroll about all the disaster that would come to Babylon; all these words were written against Babylon.

“But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them and do not be afraid of their words, even though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of their words or discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.

“not to the many peoples of unintelligible speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. No doubt, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.

Next he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully to all my words that I speak to you and take them to heart.

I spoke to the exiles about all the things the LORD had shown me.

“But I, the LORD, will speak whatever message I will speak, and it will be done. It will no longer be delayed. For in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.' ”

“He will speak words against the Most High and oppress[fn] the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals[fn] and laws, and the holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time.[fn]

He has carried out his words that he spoke against us and against our rulers[fn] by bringing on us a disaster that is so great that nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever been done under all of heaven.

While he was saying these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless.

“But you, Daniel, keep these words secret and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam about, and knowledge will increase.”[fn]

Take words of repentance with you

and return to the LORD.

Say to him, “Forgive all our iniquity

and accept what is good,

so that we may repay you

with praise[fn] from our[fn] lips.

Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you right here in the house of Israel. The land cannot endure all his words,

Listen, all you peoples;

pay attention, earth[fn] and everyone in it!

The Lord GOD will be a witness against you,

the Lord, from his holy temple.

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:

the official and the judge demand a bribe;

when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,

they plot it together.

“But didn't my words and my statutes that I commanded my servants the prophets overtake your ancestors? ' ”

So the people repented and said, “As the LORD of Armies decided to deal with us for our ways and our deeds, so he has dealt with us.”

The LORD replied with kind and comforting words to the angel who was speaking with me.

“They made their hearts like a rock so as not to obey the law or the words that the LORD of Armies had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore intense anger came from the LORD of Armies.

The LORD of Armies says this: “Let your hands be strong, you who now hear these words that the prophets spoke when the foundations were laid for the rebuilding of the temple, the house of the LORD of Armies.

“Your words against me are harsh,” says the LORD.

Yet you ask, “What have we spoken against you? ”
