Jeremiah 26:11-16

11Then the priests and the prophets 1spoke to the officials and to all the people, saying, “A 2death sentence for this man! For he has prophesied 3against this city, just as you have heard with your own ears!”

12Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, “4The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard. 13Now then, 5reform your ways and your deeds and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will relent of the disaster which He has pronounced against you. 14But as for me, behold, 6I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your sight. 15Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring 7innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city and its inhabitants; for truly the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words 8so that you hear them.”

16Then the officials and all the people 9said to the priests and the prophets, “No 10death sentence for this man! For he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
