Jeremiah 26:21
"There was also a man who prophesied in the LORD’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah."
Key Reflection
Uriah the son of Shemaiah, a prophet from Kiriath Jearim, delivered prophecies that mirrored those of Jeremiah, specifically warning against the city and land. The original audience would have recognized Uriah as another voice of divine judgment, reinforcing Jeremiah’s messages about impending calamity due to the nation’s wickedness, thus deepening the weight of prophetic truth they faced.
