Jeremiah's Defense Before the Court
Jeremiah 26:10-15
10
When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the LORD’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house.
11
Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
12
Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, the LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13
Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the LORD your God’s voice; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
14
But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
15
Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
