Context of Jeremiah 26:5
3Peradventure they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the wickedness of their doings. 4And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken unto me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you, to hearken unto the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent unto you, even rising early and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened, 6— then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. 7And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
