Jeremiah Is Spared

16 Then the officials and all the people (A)said to the priests and to 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 prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘Thus the Lord of hosts has said,

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