Jeremia 26:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:7

So the priests, and the prophets, and all the people
As it was in the temple, in one of the courts of it, that Jeremiah was, and said the above things, it is no wonder to hear of the "priests", since they were there about their work and service; the "prophets" were the false prophets, as the Septuagint and Arabic versions expressly call them; and "all the people" were all the males out of the several cities of Judah, who were come up to the temple on the account of the feast; see ( Jeremiah 26:2 ) ; now these heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord;
in the temple; in the court of Israel; they heard him out, and did not interrupt him while he was speaking; and having heard him, they were angry with him, and were witnesses against him; they did not hear him so as to obey his words, receive his instructions, and follow, his directions; but they heard him with indignation, and were determined to prosecute him unto death.

Jeremia 26:7 In-Context

5 Horende naar de woorden Mijner knechten, de profeten, die Ik tot u zende, zelfs vroeg op zijnde en zendende; doch gij niet gehoord hebt;

6 Zo zal Ik dit huis stellen als Silo, en deze stad zal Ik stellen tot een vloek allen volken der aarde.

7 En de priesters, en de profeten, en al het volk, hoorden Jeremia deze woorden spreken in het huis des HEEREN.

8 Zo geschiedde het, als Jeremia geeindigd had te spreken alles, wat de HEERE geboden had tot al het volk te spreken, dat de priesters en de profeten en al het volk hem grepen, zeggende: Gij zult den dood sterven!

9 Waarom hebt gij in den Naam des HEEREN geprofeteerd, zeggende: Dit huis zal worden als Silo, en deze stad zal woest worden, dat er niemand wone? En het ganse volk werd vergaderd tegen Jeremia, in het huis des HEEREN.
