Jeremiah 26:19

JEREMIAH—NOTE ON Jeremiah 26:19 The elders note how Hezekiah and the people understood Micah’s words and repented. God then stopped Sennacherib’s invasion of Judah in 701 B.C. (2 Kings 18:1). The elders advise obedience to Jeremiah’s words. This shows that Micah’s oracle was considered scripture by this time. It also shows that prophecy has a moral purpose, rather than simply telling the future (see note on Jer. 18:7; see also Isaiah 38:1).
