Jeremiah 26:1-6

Cities of Judah Warned

1 In the beginning of the reign of 1Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the LORD, saying,
2 "Thus says the LORD, '2Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah who have 3come to worship in the LORD'S house 4all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. 5Do not omit a word!
3 '6Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that 7I 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, "8If you will not listen to Me, to 9walk in My law which I have set before you,
5 to listen to the words of 10My servants the prophets, whom I have been sending to you again and again, but you have not listened;
6 then I will make this house like 11Shiloh, and this city I will make a 12curse to all the nations of the earth.""'
