3 Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from their evil ways. If they do, I will relent and not carry out the harm I have in mind for them because of the wrong they have done.
4 So tell them, The Lord proclaims: If you don’t listen to me or follow the Instruction I have set before you—
5 if you don’t listen to the words of the prophets that I have sent to you time and again, though you haven’t listened,
6 then I will make this temple a ruin like Shiloh, and this city I will make a curse before all nations on earth.
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah declare these words in the Lord’s temple.
8 And when Jeremiah finished saying everything the Lord told him to say, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him and said, "You must die!
9 Why do you prophesy in the Lord’s name that ‘this temple will become a ruin like Shiloh, and this city will be destroyed and left without inhabitant’?" Then all the people joined ranks against Jeremiah in the Lord’s temple.
