Context of Jeremiah 26:1

At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD: 2“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word. 3Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The destruction of the temple and city foretold. (Jr 26:1-6) Jeremiah's life is threatened. (Jr 26:7-15) He is defended by the elders.
