Jeremiah 26:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Now when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, then the Priests, and the Prophets, and all the people took him, and said, Thou shalt die the death.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, [a]This House shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
10 And when the Princes of Judah heard of these things, they came up from the king’s house into the House of the Lord, and sat down in the entry of the [b]new gate of the Lord’s House.
