God commands Jeremiah to preach in the Temple courts, warning that Jerusalem will be destroyed like Shiloh if the people do not repent and heed the prophets \u2014 a message so inflammatory that the priests, false prophets, and crowd immediately seize him and demand his death for prophesying against the city. Jeremiah defends himself before the princes by insisting he speaks with divine authority and warns that killing him would bring innocent blood upon the city, after which the princes and people overrule the religious authorities and acquit him. The passage is notable for the legal and political drama it stages around prophetic speech, treating the prophet's trial almost as a test case for whether authentic prophecy can be distinguished from sedition. Elders invoke the precedent of the prophet Micah, who preached similar doom under Hezekiah and was spared when the king repented, to argue against execution. The episode closes with a contrasting case \u2014 the prophet Uriah, who fled to Egypt but was extradited and killed by Jehoiakim \u2014 underscoring Jeremiah's survival as contingent on the protection of a single ally, Ahikam son of Shaphan.","tags":["Book of Amos","Greek Old Testament","Septuagint"],"text":null,"title":"Septuagint: Jeremiah: Jeremiah Chapter 33","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":617}
