4 The Lord told me to say to the people, "I, the Lord, have said that you must obey me by following the teaching that I gave you,

5 and by paying attention to the words of my servants, the prophets, whom I have kept on sending to you. You have never obeyed what they said.

6 If you continue to disobey, then I will do to this Temple what I did to Shiloh, and all the nations of the world will use the name of this city as a curse."

7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard me saying these things in the Temple,

8 and as soon as I had finished all that the Lord had commanded me to speak, they grabbed me and shouted, "You ought to be killed for this!

9 Why have you said in the Lord's name that this Temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will be destroyed and no one will live in it?" Then the people crowded around me.

12 Then I said, "The Lord sent me to proclaim everything that you heard me say against this Temple and against this city.

13 You must change the way you are living and the things you are doing, and must obey the Lord your God. If you do, he will change his mind about the destruction that he said he would bring on you.
