我必不永远争辩，也不长久发怒，因为这样，人的灵，就是我所造的人，在我面前就要发昏。

后来，西底家王派人去把他带出来；王在自己的宫中私下问他，说：“从耶和华那里有话来吗？”耶利米回答：“有！”又说：“你必交在巴比伦王的手中。”

摩西和亚伦就俯伏在地，说：“神啊，万人之灵的神啊，一人犯罪，你就要向全体会众发怒吗？”

他夜间来到耶稣那里，对他说：“拉比，我们知道你是从神那里来的教师，因为如果没有神同在，你所行的这些神迹，就没有人能行。”

“愿耶和华万人之灵的神，立一个人治理会众，

玛坦的儿子示法提雅、巴施户珥的儿子基大利、示利米雅的儿子犹甲、玛基雅的儿子示巴户珥，听见耶利米对众民宣讲以下的话：“耶和华这样说：‘凡留在这城里的，必因刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫而死；但出去向迦勒底人投降的，必可以活着；他们必捡回自己的性命，得以生存。’耶和华这样说：‘这城必交在巴比伦王军队的手中，巴比伦王必攻取这城。’”于是众领袖对王说：“这人应该处死，因为他向这城里剩下的军兵和众民说了这样的话，使他们的手都软弱无力。这人不是为这人民求平安，却是惹来灾祸的。”西底家王说：“看哪！他在你们手中；王不能作什么反对你们。”他们就拿住耶利米，把他丢在王子玛基雅的井里，那井是在卫兵的院子里的；他们用绳子把耶利米缒下去。井里没有水，只有淤泥；耶利米就陷在淤泥中。

以下是耶和华的默示，这是耶和华论到以色列的话（是耶和华的宣告，他铺张诸天，奠定大地的根基，造成人里面的灵）：

我必把他们交在他们仇敌的手中，和那些寻索他们性命的人的手中；他们的尸体必给空中的飞鸟和地上的走兽作食物。

尘土要归回原来之地，灵要归回赐灵的神。

那创造诸天，展开穹苍，铺张大地和大地所出的一切，赐气息给地上的众人，又赐灵性给在地上行的人的耶和华神这样说：

还有，肉身的父亲管教我们，我们尚且敬重他们；何况那万灵的父，我们不是更要顺服他而得生吗？
