Read in context

Jeremiah 26:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,

6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”

7 Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,

8 and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!

9 How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
