Jeremiah 26:3-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

3. Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may repent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.'

4. And you will say to them, 'Thus says the Lord, "If you will not listen to Me, to walk in My law which I have set before you,

5. to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you again and again, but you have not listened;

6. then I will make this house like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse to all the nations of the earth."'"

7. The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

8. When Jeremiah finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, "You must die!

9. Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord saying, 'This house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant'?" And all the people gathered about Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
