¹² “‘Go now to the place in Shiloh^(A) where I first made a dwelling^(B) for my Name,^(C) and see what I did^(D) to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³ While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord, I spoke^(E) to you again and again,^(F) but you did not listen;^(G) I called^(H) you, but you did not answer.^{(I) 14} Therefore, what I did to Shiloh^(J) I will now do to the house that bears my Name,^(K) the temple^(L) you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. ¹⁵ I will thrust you from my presence,^(M) just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’^(N)

⁵ and 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^(A)), ⁶ then I will make this house like Shiloh^(B) and this city a curse^[a](C) among all the nations of the earth.’”

⁷ The priests, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speak these words in the house of the Lord. ⁸ But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the Lord had commanded^(D) him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized^(E) him and said, “You must die!^{(F) 9} Why do you prophesy in the Lord’s name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?”^(G) And all the people crowded^(H) around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

⁵ eighty men who had shaved off their beards,^(A) torn their clothes^(B) and cut^(C) themselves came from Shechem,^(D) Shiloh^(E) and Samaria,^(F) bringing grain offerings and incense^(G) with them to the house of the Lord.^(H)
