Jeremiah 26:7

Verse 7 of 24. The 26th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

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.

8When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!

9Why have you prophesied in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in the LORD’s house.

10When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the LORD’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house.

11Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
