It narrates God's command to Jeremiah to preach in the Temple courtyard, warning that Jerusalem will be destroyed like Shiloh unless the people repent and heed God's law and prophets. When Jeremiah delivers this message, the priests, false prophets, and people seize him and demand his death for prophesying against the city. Jeremiah defends himself before the princes by affirming he speaks only what God commanded, offers himself to their judgment, and warns that killing him would bring innocent blood upon them. The princes and elders ultimately acquit him, citing the precedent of the prophet Micah, who made similar prophecies under King Hezekiah without being executed. Notably, the passage closes with a contrasting case: another prophet, Uriah, who preached the same message but fled to Egypt, was extradited by King Jehoiakim and killed \u2014 underscoring the danger Jeremiah escaped, protected only by the intervention of Ahikam son of Shaphan.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Vulgate: Jeremiah: Jeremiah Chapter 26","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":592}
