Intimidating the Prophet
Jeremiah 11:21
Therefore thus said the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD…


Think of Bunyan when he is brought before the judge, and the judge says, "You! a tinker! to go about preaching! Hold your tongue, sir!" "I cannot hold my tongue," says Bunyan. "Then I must send you back to prison unless you promise never to preach again." "If you put me in prison till the moss grows on my eyelids, I will preach again the first moment I get out, by the help of God."

(Life of John Bunyan.)
