14 Then Jeremiah came from (A)Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, (B)and he stood in the court of the Lord's house and said to all the people: 15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, (C)because they have stiffened their neck, (D)refusing to hear my words.”

14 Then Jeremiah left Topheth where the Lord had sent him to give that prophecy. He went to the Lord’s temple and stood[a] in its courtyard and called out to all the people. 15 “The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,[b] says, ‘I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it[c] all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused[d] to pay any attention to what I have said!’”
