14 Eu, porém, eis que estou em vossas mãos: fazei de mim como parecer melhor e mais correto aos vossos olhos.

15 Mas sabei certamente que, se vós me matardes, então trareis sangue inocente sobre vós, e sobre esta cidade, e sobre seus moradores; porque em verdade o SENHOR me enviou a vós para falar aos vossos ouvidos todas estas palavras.

16 Então os príncipes e todo o povo disseram aos sacerdotes e profetas: Este homem não é merecedor de pena de morte, porque em nome do SENHOR nosso Deus ele nos falou.

17 E se levantaram alguns dos anciãos da terra, e falaram a todo o ajuntamento do povo, dizendo:

18 Miqueias, o morastita, profetizou nos dias de Ezequias rei de Judá, e falou a todo o povo de Judá, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Sião será arada como campo, e Jerusalém se tornará em amontoados [de pedras] , e o monte do templo em lugares altos de mato.
