Context of Jeremiah 26:6

4Tell them that the Lord says, ‘You must obey me! You must live according to the way I have instructed you in my laws. 5You must pay attention to the exhortations of my servants the prophets. I have sent them to you over and over again. But you have not paid any attention to them. If you do not obey me, then I will do to this temple what I did to Shiloh. And I will make this city an example to be used in curses by people from all the nations on the earth.’” 7The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say these things in the Lord’s temple. 8Jeremiah had just barely finished saying all the Lord had commanded him to say to all the people. All at once some of the priests, the prophets, and the people grabbed him and shouted, “You deserve to die!
