Jeremiah’s Prophecies in the Temple
26 At the beginning of the reign of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came from the Lord:(A) 2 Thus says the Lord: Stand in the court of the Lord’s house and speak to all the cities of Judah that come to worship in the house of the Lord; speak to them all the words that I command you; do not hold back a word.(B) 3 It may be that they will listen and will turn from their evil way, that I may change my mind about the disaster that I intend to bring on them because of their evil doings.(C) 4 You shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you(D) 5 and to heed the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently—though you have not heeded(E)— 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth.(F)

Jeremiah’s Speech in the Temple
26 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all Judah’s cities that are coming to worship there. Do not hold back a word.(B) 3 Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I might relent(C) concerning the disaster that I plan to do to them because of the evil of their deeds. 4 You are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me by living according to my instruction that I set before you(D) 5 and by listening to the words of my servants the prophets(E)—whom I have been sending to you time and time again,[a](F) though you did not listen— 6 I will make this temple like Shiloh.(G) I will make this city an example for cursing for all the nations of the earth.’”
