Jeremiah 26 It sound like Jeremiah was very nearly put to death. Some spoke li to and some against but this ma have come down to the final vote cast of those sitting in judgment before he was acquitted.

Jeremiah 24 – 25 I did not realize that amidst all the wickedness of Jeremiah’s day Jeremiah prophesied that there were some choice people who would be carried away to the land of the Chaldeans and preserved there who would then be brought back to the land of Israel and have the covenant reside with…
