- Jeremiah 26:12–15
Read Jeremiah 26:14 with 26:12–15. By itself, “As for me, behold, I am in your hand” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, date, imperial horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: The prophet repeats his sending, calls for amendment, and places his own life in the court's hands while naming their responsibility.
Why It Needs Context

The prophetic word through Jeremiah states or reports “As for me, behold, I am in your hand” at Jeremiah 26:14 as a specific part of “Jeremiah Defends His Commission and Warns against Innocent Blood.” Application waits until that movement is understood.
