13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings and hear the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord himself will repent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hands; do with me as seems good and meet unto you.
15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and upon its inhabitants; for of a truth the Lord has sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
