Jeremiah 26:1-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Cities of Judah Warned

26 In the beginning of the reign of ^(A)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying, ² “Thus says the Lord, ‘^(B)Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah who have ^(C)come to worship in the Lord’s house ^(D)all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. ^(E)Do not omit a word! ^3 (F)Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that ^(G)I may repent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.’ ⁴ And you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord, “^(H)If you will not listen to Me, to ^(I)walk in My law which I have set before you, ⁵ to listen to the words of ^(J)My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you ^[a]again and again, but you have not listened; ⁶ then I will make this house like ^(K)Shiloh, and this city I will make a ^(L)curse to all the nations of the earth.”’”
