Jeremiah Is Spared

16 Then the officials and all the people (A)said to the priests and the prophets, “No (B)death sentence for this man! For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” 17 Then (C)some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, 18 [a](D)Micah of Moresheth used to prophesy in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘This is what the Lord of armies has said:

(E)Zion will be plowed like a field,
And Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins,
And the (F)mountain of the house like the [b]high places of a forest.”’
