Jeremiah 26:19
JPS-1917הֶהָמֵ֣ת הֱ֠מִתֻ֠הוּ חִזְקִיָּ֨הוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֜ה וְכׇל־יְהוּדָ֗ה הֲלֹא֮ יָרֵ֣א אֶת־יְהֹוָה֒ וַיְחַל֙ אֶת־פְּנֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם יְהֹוָ֔ה אֶל־הָרָעָ֖ה אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֣ר עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַאֲנַ֗חְנוּ עֹשִׂ֛ים רָעָ֥ה גְדוֹלָ֖ה עַל־נַפְשׁוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and entreat the favour of the LORD, and the LORD repented Him of the evil which He had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our own souls.’
