Jeremiah 26:7-15

7So the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 heardH8085 JeremiahH3414 speakingH1696 these wordsH1697 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.

8Now it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all that YhwhH3068 had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 tookH8610 him, sayingH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. 9Why hast thou prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068, sayingH559, This houseH1004 shall be like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall be desolateH2717 without an inhabitantH3427? And all the peopleH5971 were gatheredH6950 against JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.

10When the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 these thingsH1697, then they came upH5927 from the king’sH4428 houseH1004 unto the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and sat downH3427 in the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of Yhwh'sH3068 house.1 11Then spakeH559 the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241.2

12Then spakeH559 JeremiahH3414 unto all the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, YhwhH3068 sentH7971 me to prophesyH5012 against this houseH1004 and against this cityH5892 all the wordsH1697 that ye have heardH8085. 13Therefore now amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611, and obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430; And YhwhH3068 will repentH5162 him of the evilH7451 that he hath pronouncedH1696 against you. 14As for me, behold, I am in your handH3027: doH6213 with me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 and meetH3477 unto you.3 15But knowH3045 ye for certainH3045, that if ye put me to deathH4191, ye shall surely bringH5414 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 upon yourselves, and upon this cityH5892, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: for of a truthH571 YhwhH3068 hath sentH7971 me unto you to speakH1696 all these wordsH1697 in your earsH241.
