The Lord says,“ Jeremiah, here is what I am telling you about the people of Anathoth. They say they’re going to kill you. They are saying,‘ Don’t prophesy in the Lord’ s name. If you do, we will kill you with our own hands.’ ”

所以，耶和华论到寻索你命的亚拿突人如此说：“他们说：‘你不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得你死在我们手中。’”

所以，耶和华论到寻索你命的亚拿突人如此说：“他们说：你不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得你死在我们手中。

所以，耶和华论到寻索你命的亚拿突人如此说：“他们说：你不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得你死在我们手中。

亚拿突人想杀我，他们威胁我说：“你不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得死在我们手上。”因此，万军之耶和华说：“看啊，我必惩罚他们。他们的青年必丧身刀下，他们的子女必死于饥荒，

因此耶和华指责那些亚拿突人，他们寻索你命，向你恐吓说：“不要奉耶和华的名说预言，免得你死在我们手中。”

所以，耶和華論到尋索你命的亞拿突人如此說：「他們說：你不要奉耶和華的名說預言，免得你死在我們手中。

亞拿突人想殺我，他們威脅我說：「你不要奉耶和華的名說預言，免得死在我們手上。」因此，萬軍之耶和華說：「看啊，我必懲罰他們。他們的青年必喪身刀下，他們的子女必死於饑荒，

因此耶和華指責那些亞拿突人，他們尋索你命，向你恐嚇說：“不要奉耶和華的名說預言，免得你死在我們手中。”

因此永恆主論到那些尋索你性命的亞拿突人、就是那樣說：「你不要奉永恆主的名傳神言，免得你死在我們手中」的、是這麼說：——

耶和華曰、亞拿突人索爾生命、曰、勿託耶和華名而預言、免爾死於我手、

萬有之主耶和華曰、亞拿突居民、既謀害爾、使爾不託我名而設教、言必戮爾、故我必罰之、使其壯士飲刃受戮、子女飢餓而死。

萬有之主諭我如是云、亞拿突人欲害爾命、告爾曰、勿託主之名傳述預言、免爾死於我手云、故我必罰之、使其壯士見殺於刃、彼之子女、饑餓而死、

Therefore this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth who are threatening to kill you, saying,“ Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord or you will die by our hands”—

Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say,“ Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”—

This is what the Lord says about the men of Anathoth who wanted me dead. They had said,“ We will kill you if you do not stop prophesying in the Lord’s name.”

Therefore, here is what the LORD says concerning the people of Anathoth who intend to take your life. They warn,“ Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will certainly die at our hand.”

Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying:“ Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, so that you do not die by our hand”;

“ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying,‘ Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, lest you die by our hand’—

Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou die not by our hand;

Therefore, here is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth who want to take your life. They warn,“ You must not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, or you will certainly die at our hand.”

Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:

Then the LORD told me about some men from Anathoth who were threatening to kill me. They had threatened,“ Stop prophesying in the name of the LORD or we will kill you!”

“ Therefore Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying,‘ You shall not prophesy in Yahweh’s name, that you not die by our hand;’

In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day. Certainly no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!“ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and throw stones in order to kill those who are sent to you. Many times I have wanted to gather your people together. I have wanted to be like a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings. And you would not let me.

I hear many people whispering,“ There is terror on every side! Bring charges against Jeremiah! Let’s bring charges against him!” All my friends are waiting for me to slip. They are saying,“ Perhaps he will be tricked into making a mistake. Then we’ll win out over him. We’ll get even with him.”

They say to the seers,‘ Don’t see any more visions!’ They say to the prophets,‘ Don’t give us any more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy things we want to hear even if they aren’t true.

The Lord says,“ Suppose you have raced against people. And suppose they have worn you out. Then how would you be able to race against horses? Suppose you feel safe only in open country. Then how would you get along in the bushes near the Jordan River?Even your relatives have turned against you. They are members of your own family. They have shouted loudly at you. They might say nice things about you. But do not trust them.

“ But you made the Nazirites drink wine. You commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

The rest grabbed his slaves. They treated them badly and then killed them.

Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the Lord had commanded him to say. But as soon as he did, the priests, the prophets and all the people grabbed him. They said,“ You must die!

“ But the renters grabbed his slaves. They beat one of them. They killed another. They threw stones at the third to kill him.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” he continued.“ A prophet is not accepted in his hometown.

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!Was there ever a prophet your people didn’t try to hurt? They even killed those who told about the coming of the Blameless One. And now you have handed him over to his enemies. You have murdered him.

Shephatiah, Gedaliah, Jehukal and Pashhur heard what Jeremiah was telling all the people. Shephatiah was the son of Mattan. Gedaliah was the son of Pashhur. Jehukal was the son of Shelemiah. And Pashhur was the son of Malkijah. These four men heard Jeremiah say,“ The Lord says,‘ Those who stay in this city will die of war, hunger or plague. But those who go over to the side of the Babylonians will live. They will escape with their lives. They will remain alive.’The Lord also says,‘ This city will certainly be handed over to the armies of the king of Babylon. They will capture it.’ ”Then these officials said to the king,“ This man should be put to death. What he says is making the soldiers who are left in this city lose hope. It’s making all the people lose hope too. He isn’t interested in what is best for the people. In fact, he’s trying to destroy them.”“ He’s in your hands,” King Zedekiah answered.“ I can’t do anything to oppose you.”So they took Jeremiah and put him into an empty well. It belonged to Malkijah. He was a member of the royal court. His well was in the courtyard of the guard. Zedekiah’s men lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the well. It didn’t have any water in it. All it had was mud. And Jeremiah sank down into the mud.

So I am sending you prophets, wise people, and teachers. You will kill some of them. You will nail some to a cross. Others you will whip in your synagogues. You will chase them from town to town.So you will pay for all the godly people’s blood spilled on earth. I mean from the blood of godly Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berekiah. Zechariah was the one you murdered between the temple and the altar.What I’m about to tell you is true. All this will happen to those who are now living.“ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and throw stones in order to kill those who are sent to you. Many times I have wanted to gather your people together. I have wanted to be like a hen who gathers her chicks under her wings. And you would not let me!

Pashhur the priest was the official in charge of the Lord’ s temple. He was the son of Immer. Pashhur heard Jeremiah prophesying that Jerusalem would be destroyed.So he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten. Then Pashhur put him in prison at the Upper Gate of Benjamin at the Lord’ s temple.

Sons don’t honor their fathers. Daughters refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law are against their mothers- in- law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own family.

“ Brothers will hand over brothers to be killed. Fathers will hand over their children. Children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.

“ Do not think that I came to bring peace to the earth. I didn’t come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword.I have come to turn“‘ sons against their fathers. Daughters will refuse to obey their mothers. Daughters- in- law will be against their mothers- in- law.A man’s enemies will be the members of his own family.’( Micah 7:6)

Don’t prophesy here at Bethel anymore. This is where the king worships. The main temple in the kingdom is located here.”Amos answered Amaziah,“ I was not a prophet. I wasn’t even the son of a prophet. I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore- fig trees.But the Lord took me away from taking care of the flock. He said to me,‘ Go. Prophesy to my people Israel.’Now then, listen to the Lord’ s message. You say,“‘ Don’t prophesy against Israel. Stop preaching against the people of Isaac.’

“ Don’t prophesy,” the people’s prophets say.“ Don’t prophesy about bad things. Nothing shameful is going to happen to us.”People of Jacob, should anyone say,“ The Lord is patient, so he wouldn’t do things like that”? The Lord replies,“ What I promise brings good things to those who lead honest lives.But lately my people have attacked one another as if they were enemies. You strip off the rich robes from those who happen to pass by. They thought they were as safe as men returning from a battle they had won.You drive the women among my people out of their pleasant homes. You take away my blessing from their children forever.Get up! Leave this land! It is no longer your resting place. You have made it‘ unclean.’ You have completely destroyed it.Suppose a prophet goes around telling lies. And he prophesies that you will have plenty of wine and beer. Then that kind of prophet would be just right for this nation!
