In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the LORD: See also: 2 Chronicles 36:4-5Jeremiah 27:12 Kings 23:34-36“The LORD says: ‘Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word. See also: Deuteronomy 4:2Acts 20:27Matthew 28:20It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’” See also: Jeremiah 36:3Jeremiah 18:7-10Isaiah 1:16-19You shall tell them, “The LORD says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you, See also: 1 Kings 9:6Jeremiah 44:10Isaiah 1:20to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened— See also: Jeremiah 11:7Jeremiah 7:13Ezra 9:11then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’” See also: 2 Kings 22:19Jeremiah 24:9Isaiah 65:15The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD’s house. See also: Micah 3:11Jeremiah 5:31Ezekiel 22:25-26When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die! See also: Lamentations 4:13-14Matthew 21:35-39Matthew 26:3-4Why have you prophesied in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in the LORD’s house. See also: Acts 4:17-19Amos 5:10Matthew 21:23When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the LORD’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house. See also: Jeremiah 36:10Ezekiel 22:27Jeremiah 36:25Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.” See also: Jeremiah 38:4Matthew 26:66Deuteronomy 18:20Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard. See also: Jeremiah 26:15Acts 4:19Acts 5:29Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the LORD your God’s voice; then the LORD will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you. See also: Isaiah 1:19Jonah 4:2Jonah 3:9But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes. See also: Joshua 9:25Jeremiah 38:52 Samuel 15:26Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.” See also: Numbers 35:33Proverbs 6:17Acts 7:60Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.” See also: Acts 23:9Acts 5:34-39Acts 23:29Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, See also: Acts 5:34Micah 1:1“Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.’ See also: Zechariah 8:3Nehemiah 4:2Micah 1:1Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear the LORD, and entreat the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!” See also: Exodus 32:142 Samuel 24:16Isaiah 37:15-20There was also a man who prophesied in the LORD’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah. See also: 1 Samuel 7:2Joshua 9:17Joshua 15:60When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt. See also: Matthew 10:23Matthew 14:5Jeremiah 36:26Then Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan the son of Achbor and certain men with him into Egypt. See also: 2 Kings 22:142 Kings 22:12Jeremiah 36:12They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
