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