Jeremiah 26:7-15

7Now the priestsH3548 and prophetsH5030 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, 8and as soon asH1961 he had finishedH3615 tellingH1696 allH3605 the peopleH5971 everythingH3605 the LORDH3068 had commanded himH6680 to sayH1696, the priestsH3548 and prophetsH5030 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 seized himH8610, shoutingH559, “You must surely dieH4191! 9HowH4069 dare you prophesyH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thatH559 thisH2088 houseH1004 will becomeH1961 like ShilohH7887 and thisH2063 cityH5892 will be desolateH369H3427 and desertedH2717!”

And allH3605 the peopleH5971 assembledH6950 againstH413 JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

10When the officialsH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 theseH428 thingsH1697, they went upH5927 from the king’sH4428 palaceH1004 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and satH3427 there at the entranceH6607 of the NewH2319 GateH8179.

11Then the priestsH3548 and prophetsH5030 saidH559 toH413 the officialsH8269 andH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971H559, “ThisH2088 manH376 is worthyH4941 of deathH4194, forH3588 he has prophesiedH5012 againstH413 thisH2063 cityH5892, asH834 you have heardH8085 with your own earsH241!”

12But JeremiahH3414 saidH559 toH413 allH3605 the officialsH8269 andH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971H559, “The LORDH3068 sent meH7971 to prophesyH5012 againstH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 and againstH413 thisH2063 cityH5892 allH3605 the wordsH1697 thatH834 you have heardH8085. 13So nowH6258, correctH3190 your waysH1870 and deedsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so that HeH3068 might relentH5162 ofH413 the disasterH7451 He has pronouncedH1696 against youH5921. 14As for meH589, hereH2005 I am in your handsH3027; doH6213 to me what you thinkH5869 is goodH2896 and rightH3477. 15ButH389 know for certainH3045 thatH3588 ifH518 youH859 put me to deathH4191, youH859 will bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselvesH5921, uponH413 thisH2063 cityH5892, and uponH413 its residentsH3427; forH3588 trulyH571 the LORDH3068 has sent meH7971 to speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 in your hearingH241.”
