Context of Jeremiah 26:5
3Perhaps they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way, so I may relent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.” 4Then you will say to them, thus says Adonai: “If you will not listen to Me, by walking in My Torah, which I have set before you, and by listening to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you, early and often—but you have not listened— 6then I will make this House like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.” 7So the kohanim, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the House of Adonai.
