Act IV, The Prophets, Scenes 35 and 36: Chananiah the False Prophet—The Mob Attacks Jeremiah
[CHANANIAH]
Adorn thee, O Zion, in victory's robes
In splendid garments, Jerusalem
Thus sings Isaiah, and I sing with him
"Who is like unto thee?"

[THE WOMAN, to CHANANIAH]
Seer, unto thee

[CHANANIAH]
To the Temple, thou people of beauty and grace
To the Temple, thou people of beauty and grace

[RABBI]
In that same year
In the year which began the reign of Zedekiah
Spoke the prophet Chananiah in the house of the Lord
To all of the priests and people

[THE SELLER OF IDOLS, pointing at JEREMIAH]
Beat him and lynch him, the teller of falsehood!
(spoken)
Stone him to death! Stone him to death!

[MOB]
Murder him, murder him, stone him to death!
Stone him to death (Stone him to death)
Stone him to death (Stone him to death)
Stone him to death (Stone him to death)
Stone him to death
Stone him, stone him to death!
