Jeremiah 26:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ As for me, I am in your hands. Do with me whatever seems right and proper to you. ¹⁵ However, you can be certain that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city and its inhabitants. For truly the Lord sent me to speak all these things for you to hear.”

¹⁶ Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man does not deserve to be sentenced to death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord, our God.”
