Jeremiah 26:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ ·How dare [^LWhy do…?] you prophesy in the name of the Lord that this ·Temple [^Lhouse] will be like the one at Shiloh [^Cdestroyed]! ·How dare [^LWhy do…?] you say that this city [^CJerusalem] will become a ·desert [ruin] without anyone to live in it!” And all the people ·crowded [assembled] around Jeremiah in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord.

¹⁰ Now when the officers of Judah heard ·about what was happening [^Lthese things/words], they came out of the king’s ·palace [^Lhouse] and went up to the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and took their places at the entrance of the New Gate. ¹¹ Then the priests and prophets said to the officers and all the other people, “·Jeremiah [^LThis man] ·should be killed [^Ldeserves the death sentence]. He prophesied against this city [^CJerusalem], and you heard him ·yourselves [^Lwith your ears].”
