Jeremiah 26:1 - 26:6
The Words of Yahweh Against Judah
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yahweh, saying, 2 “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Stand in the court of the house of Yahweh, and you shall speak to all the cities of Judah who have come to worship in the house of Yahweh all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them. Do not take away a word! 3 Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the evil which I am devising to bring against them because of the evil of their deeds.’ 4 And you will say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “If you will not listen to Me, to walk in My law which I have given before you, 5 to listen to the words of My slaves the prophets, whom I have been sending to you, rising up early and sending, but you have not listened, 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse to all the nations of the earth.”’”
