Jeremiah 26:1-6

Amplified Bible

Cities of Judah Warned

26 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying, ² “Thus says the Lord, ‘Stand in the court of the Lord’s house [Jeremiah], and speak to all [the people of] the cities of Judah who have come to worship in the Lord’s house all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not omit a word! ³ It may be that they will listen and everyone will turn from his wickedness, so that I may relent and reverse [My decision concerning] the disaster which I am planning to do to them because of their malevolent deeds.’ ⁴ And you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord, “If you will not listen to Me and obey My law which I have set before you, ⁵ and listen and follow [carefully] the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you repeatedly—though you have not listened— ⁶ then I will make this house [the temple] like ^[a]Shiloh, and I will make this city [subject to] the curse of all nations of the earth [because it will be so vile in their sight].”’”^(A)
