Jeremiah’s Prophecies in the Temple

26 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoi′akim the son of Josi′ah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, ² “Thus says the Lord: Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in the house of the Lord all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not hold back a word. ³ It may be they will listen, and every one turn from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil which I intend to do to them because of their evil doings. ⁴ You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you, ⁵ and to heed the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently, though you have not heeded, ⁶ then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth.’”
