Jeremiah 26:1-6

Jeremiah Threatened With Death 1Early in the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD : 2“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the LORD ’s house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the LORD . Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word. 3Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from their evil ways. Then I will relent and not inflict on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done. 4Say to them, ‘This is what the LORD says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you, 5and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened),

6then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city a curse That is, its name will be used in cursing (see 29:22); or, others will see that it is cursed. among all the nations of the earth.’ ”
