Jeremiah 26:1-9

1In the beginning of the reign of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, came this wordH1697 from Jehovah, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: StandH5975 in the courtH2691 of Jehovah’s houseH1004, and speakH1696 unto all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, which comeH935 to worship in Jehovah’s houseH1004, all the wordsH1697 that I commandH6680 thee to speakH1696 unto them; diminish not a wordH1697. 3It may be they will hearken, and turnH7725 every manH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870; that I may repent me of the evilH7451 which I purpose to do unto them because of the evilH7451 of their doings. 4And thou shalt sayH559 unto them, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my lawH8451, which I have setH5414 before you, 5to hearken to the wordsH1697 of my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, whom I sendH7971 unto you, even risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971 them, but ye have not hearkened; 6then will I makeH5414 this houseH1004 like ShilohH7887, and will makeH5414 this cityH5892 a curseH7045 to all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776. 7And the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

8And it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all that Jehovah had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 laid hold on him, sayingH559, Thou shalt surely dieH4191. 9WhyH4069 hast thou prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah, sayingH559, This houseH1004 shall beH1961 like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall beH1961 desolate, without inhabitantH3427? And all the peopleH5971 wereH1961 gathered unto JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah.
