Jeremiah 26:14 (KJV)
As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
This passage reminds me of,
Acts 4:18-20 (KJV)
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
We have to know that Jeremiah did not wish to be executed. No one wants that. Ever. But he was certain that he had done the will of the Lord and, with that, must content himself to allow the will of God to be done unto him.
I am amazed how close Jerusalem came to making this right and still turned from the Lord. Mention was made of the prophet Micah, and how the nation repented then.[1] It seems to me that this makes their rebellion even more egregious. They reasoned it out. With a clear head, with logic and thought, with precedent before them, they still chose rebellion.
People will make the choices they make. Let’s just be certain that we have chosen to obey the Lord.

[1] Jeremiah 26:18 (KJV)
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
