Jeremiah 26:1-6

Jeremiah Threatened with Death

26¹ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, saying: ² 'Thus said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all 'those of' the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish a word. ³ If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings. ⁴ 'And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you, ⁵ To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, ⁶ Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.'
