Jeremiah 26:3-9 World English Bible (WEB)

3. It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to them because of the evil of their doings.’

4. You shall tell them, “Yahweh says: ‘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 send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;

6. then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city 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 Yahweh’s house.

8. When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall surely die!

9. Why have you prophesied in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?’” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in Yahweh’s house.
