Jeremiah 26.1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah this word came from the LORD* saying, 2. Thus says the LORD*, Stand in the court of the LORD’s* House and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s* House, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not leave out a word! 3. Perhaps they will listen and each one turn from his bad way, so I can relent from the evil that I AM planning to do to them because of the badness of their doings. 4. And you will say to them, Thus says the LORD*, If, princes and all the people, you will not listen to Me and walk in My Torah (Teaching), which I have set before you, 5. to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I AM sending to you, both rising up early and sending them, but you have not heeded, 6. then I shall make this House like Shiloh and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
