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.
10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the royal palace to the Lord’s temple and took their places at the entrance of the New Gate of the Lord’s temple.
11 The priests and the prophets said to the officials and all the people: "This man deserves to die for prophesying against this city as you have all heard firsthand."
12 Jeremiah said to all the officials and to all the people, "The Lord sent me to prophesy to this temple and this city everything you have heard.
13 So now transform your ways and actions. Obey the Lord your God, and the Lord may relent and not carry out the harm that he’s pronounced against you.
14 But me? I’m in your hands. Do whatever you would like to me.
