Jeremiah 26:8-9, 20-23

Jeremiah 26:8-9 TPT

When Jeremiah had finished speaking the message YAHWEH had ordered him to give to the people, all the priests, prophets, and people forcefully seized him and said, “You ought to be killed for this! Why have you prophesied in YAHWEH’s name, ‘This temple will become a pile of ruins like Shiloh, and Jerusalem become an uninhabited ruin?’ ” Then a mob formed and ganged up against Jeremiah in the temple court of YAHWEH.

Jeremiah 26:20-23 TPT

There was another prophet in those day who prophesied in YAHWEH’s name, Uriah son of Shemaiah, from Kiriath Jearim. He prophesied the same things against Judah and Jerusalem as Jeremiah. When King Jehoiakim and all his leaders and mighty men heard what Uriah prophesied, the king was determined to put him to death. On hearing this, he was afraid and escaped to Egypt. King Jehoiakim, however, sent Elnathan son of Achbor to Egypt with others, who brought Uriah back from Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim. The king executed Uriah with the sword and had his body thrown into the common burial ground.
