فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَكُلُّ الشَّعْبِ لِلْكَهَنَةِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ: «لَيْسَ عَلَى هذَا الرَّجُلِ حَقُّ الْمَوْتِ، لأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَلَّمَنَا بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِنَا».

Here is, I. The acquitting of Jeremiah from the charge exhibited against him. He had indeed spoken the words as they were laid in the indictment, but they are not looked upon to be seditious or treasonable, ill-intended or of any bad tendency, and therefore the court and country agree to find him not guilty. The priests and prophets, notwithstanding his rational plea for himself, continued to demand judgment against him; but the princes, and all the people, are clear in it that this man is not worthy to die (Jer 26:16); for (say they) he hath spoken to us, not of himself, but in the name of the Lord our God. And are they willing to own that he did indeed speak to them in the name of the Lord and that that Lord is their God? Why then did they not amend their ways and doings, and take the method he prescribed to prevent the ruin of their country? If they say, His prophecy is from heaven, it may justly be asked, Why did you not then believe him? Mat 21:25. Note, It is a pity that those who are so far convinced of the divine original of gospel preaching as to protect it from the malice of others do not submit to the power and influence of it themselves. II. A precedent quoted to justify them in acquitting Jeremiah. Some of the elders of the land, either the princes before mentioned or the more intelligent men of the people, stood up, and put the assembly in mind of a former case, as is usual with us in giving judgment; for the wisdom of our predecessors is a direction to us. The case referred to is that of Micah. We have extant the book of his prophecy among the minor prophets. 1. Was it thought strange that Jeremiah prophesied against this city and the temple? Micah did so before him, even in the reign of Hezekiah, that reign of reformation, Jer 26:18. Micah said it as pub…

وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمَّا وَجَدْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَوْتَ، وَهُوَ قَدْ رَفَعَ دَعْوَاهُ إِلَى أُوغُسْطُسَ، عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ.
فَوَجَدْتُهُ مَشْكُوًّا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ مَسَائِلِ نَامُوسِهِمْ. وَلكِنَّ شَكْوَى تَسْتَحِقُّ الْمَوْتَ أَوِ الْقُيُودَ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ.
فَحَدَثَ صِيَاحٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَنَهَضَ كَتَبَةُ قِسْمِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَطَفِقُوا يُخَاصِمُونَ قَائِلِينَ:«لَسْنَا نَجِدُ شَيْئًا رَدِيًّا فِي هذَا الإِنْسَانِ! وَإِنْ كَانَ رُوحٌ أَوْ مَلاَكٌ قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ فَلاَ نُحَارِبَنَّ اللهَ».
وَلكِنَّ أَلْنَاثَانَ وَدَلاَيَا وَجَمَرْيَا تَرَجَّوْا الْمَلِكَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِقَ الدَّرْجَ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لَهُمْ.
فَقَالَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ لِبَارُوخَ: «اذْهَبْ وَاخْتَبِئْ أَنْتَ وَإِرْمِيَا وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ إِنْسَانٌ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمَا».
إِذَا أَرْضَتِ الرَّبَّ طُرُقُ إِنْسَانٍ، جَعَلَ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَيْضًا يُسَالِمُونَهُ.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَائِدُ الْمِئَةِ مَا كَانَ، مَجَّدَ اللهَ قَائِلاً:«بِالْحَقِيقَةِ كَانَ هذَا الإِنْسَانُ بَارًّا!»
لأَنَّكِ إِنْ سَكَتِّ سُكُوتًا فِي هذَا الْوَقْتِ يَكُونُ الْفَرَجُ وَالنَّجَاةُ لِلْيَهُودِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ آخَرَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتِ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكِ فَتَبِيدُونَ. وَمَنْ يَعْلَمُ إِنْ كُنْتِ لِوَقْتٍ مِثْلِ هذَا وَصَلْتِ إِلَى الْمُلْكِ؟».
أَمَّا نَحْنُ فَبِعَدْل، لأَنَّنَا نَنَالُ اسْتِحْقَاقَ مَا فَعَلْنَا، وَأَمَّا هذَا فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئًا لَيْسَ فِي مَحَلِّهِ».
فَتَكَلَّمَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ مَعَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَكُلِّ الشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «حَقُّ الْمَوْتِ عَلَى هذَا الرَّجُلِ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَنَبَّأَ عَلَى هذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِآذَانِكُمْ».
