Jeremiah 11:19Conservative English VersionBut then the LORD told me that they had planned to chop me down like a tree-- fruit and all-- so that no one would ever remember me again. See the chapter |
and as soon as I finished, they all crowded around me and started shouting, "Why did you preach that the LORD will destroy this temple, just as he destroyed Shiloh? Why did you say that Jerusalem will be empty and lie in ruins? You ought to be put to death for saying such things in the LORD's name!" Then they had me arrested.
