Jeremiah 26:7-15

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.

10And when the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 these thingsH1697, they cameH5927 up from the king’sH4428 houseH1004 unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah; and they satH3427 in the entry of the newH2319 gateH8179 of Jehovah’s houseH1004. 11Then spake the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthy of deathH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241. 12Then spake JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Jehovah sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085. 13NowH6258 thereforeH6258 amend your waysH1870 and your doings, and obey the voiceH6963 of Jehovah your GodH430; and Jehovah will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronounced against you. 14But as for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: do with me as is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in your eyesH5869. 15OnlyH389 knowH3045 ye for certain that, if ye putH5414 me to deathH4191, ye will bring innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; for of a truthH571 Jehovah hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
