Jeremiah 26:7-11

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of Yahweh. ⁸ And then^[a] as Jeremiah finished speaking all that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying,^[b] “You will die! ⁹ Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying,^[c] ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be in ruins, without^[d] inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the temple of Yahweh.

¹⁰ When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the house of the king to the temple of Yahweh, and they sat in the entrance of the New Gate of Yahweh’s temple. ¹¹ Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, saying,^[e] “This man deserves the death sentence,^[f] because he has prophesied against this city as that which you have heard with your ears.”
