Jeremiah 26:3
Verse 3 of 24. The 26th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.
1In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
2“The LORD says: ‘Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.
3It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’”
4You shall tell them, “The LORD says: ‘If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,
5to listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened—
6then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.’”
7The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD’s house.
