The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah 26: 11-16, 24

26:11	And the priests and the prophets spoke to the leaders and to all the people, gotinên pêşîyan: “A judgment of death is for this man. For he has prophesied against this city, just as you have heard with your own ears.”
26:12	And Jeremiah spoke to all the leaders and to the entire people, gotinên pêşîyan: “The Lord has sent me to prophesy, about this house and about this city, all the words that you have heard.
26:13	Niha, ji ber vê yekê, make your ways and your intentions good, and heed the voice of the Lord your God. And then the Lord will repent of the evil that he has spoken against you.
26:14	Lê ji bo min, va ye, I am in your hands. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
26:15	Lêbelê bi rastî, know and understand this: if you kill me, you will be bringing innocent blood against yourselves, and against this city and its inhabitants. For in truth, the Lord sent me to you, so as to speak all these words in your hearing.”
26:16	And then the leaders and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “There is no judgment of death against this man. For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
26:24	But the hand of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, so that he would not be delivered into the hands of the people, and so that they would not put him to death.
