Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Yirmeyah-yahu; for the Torah shall not perish from the kohen, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
And I will make void the counsel of Yhudah and Yerushalayim in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
The kohanim said not, Where is YY ? and they that handle the Torah knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
