10. When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the Lord’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the Lord’s house.
11. Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
12. Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “the Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13. Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the Lord your God’s voice; then the Lord will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you.
14. But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes.
15. Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.”
