7The 1priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 8When JeremiahH3414 finishedH3615 speakingH1696 allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 seizedH8610 him, sayingH559, “2You mustH4191 dieH4191! 9WhyH4069 have you prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 sayingH559, ‘ThisH2088 houseH1004 will be like ShilohH7887 and thisH2088 cityH5892 will be 3desolateH2717, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427’?” And 4allH3605 the peopleH5971 gatheredH6950 aboutH413 JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.

10When the 5officialsH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 theseH428 thingsH1697, they cameH5927 up from the king’sH4428 houseH1004 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and satH3427 in the 6entranceH6607 of the NewH2319 GateH8179 of the Lord’sH3068 house. 11Then the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 7spokeH559 to the officialsH8269 and to allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “A 8deathH4194 sentenceH4941 for thisH2088 manH376! For he has prophesiedH5012 9againstH413 thisH2088 cityH5892 as you have heardH8085 in your hearingH241.”

12Then JeremiahH3414 spokeH559 to allH3605 the officialsH8269 and to allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “10The LordH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 againstH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 and againstH413 thisH2088 cityH5892 allH3605 the wordsH1697 that you have heardH8085. 13NowH6258 therefore 11amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611 and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; and the LordH3068 will 12changeH5162 His mindH5162 aboutH413 the misfortuneH7463 whichH834 He has pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 you. 14But as for me, beholdH2009, 13I am in your handsH3027; doH6213 with me as is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in your sightH5869. 15OnlyH389 knowH3045 for certainH3045 that ifH518 you putH4191 me to deathH4191, you will bringH5414 14innocentH5355 bloodH1818 on yourselves, and on thisH2088 cityH5892 and on its inhabitantsH3427; for trulyH571 the LordH3068 has sentH7971 me to you to speakH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 in your hearingH241.”
