Jeremiah 26:21 in Context — Jeremiah 26

19 Por acaso foi ele morto por Ezequias rei de Judá e todo Judá? Por acaso [Ezequias] não temeu ao SENHOR, e orou na presença do SENHOR, e o SENHOR mudou de ideia quanto ao mal que tinha falado contra eles? E nós, faremos pois tão grande mal contra nossas [próprias] almas?

20 Houve também um homem que profetizava em nome do SENHOR: Urias, filho de Semaías de Quiriate-Jearim, o qual profetizou contra esta cidade e contra esta terra, conforme todas as palavras de Jeremias;

21 E quando ouviu suas palavras o rei Jeoaquim, e todos seus grandes, e todos seus príncipes, então o rei procurou matá-lo; e Urias, ao ouvir [isso] , teve medo, fugiu, e foi ao Egito;

22 Porém o rei Jeoaquim enviou [alguns] homens a Egito: Elnatã filho de Acbor, e [outros] homens com ele, ao Egito;

23 Os quais tiraram a Urias do Egito, e o trouxeram ao rei Jeoaquim, que o feriu à espada, e lançou seu cadáver nas sepulturas do povo comum.
