Jeremiah 26:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The priests, the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah. He said all of these words in the Temple of the Lord. ⁸ Jeremiah finished speaking everything the Lord had commanded him to say. Then the priests, prophets and all the people grabbed Jeremiah. They said, “You must die! ⁹ How dare you prophesy such a thing in the name of the Lord! How dare you say that this Temple will be destroyed like the one at Shiloh! How dare you say that Jerusalem will become a desert without anyone to live in it!” All the people crowded around Jeremiah in the Temple of the Lord.
