but you have not listened;
026:006 then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this
city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
026:007 The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah
speaking these words in the house of Yahweh.
026:008 It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all
that Yahweh had commanded him to speak to all the people,
that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid
hold on him, saying, You shall surely die.
026:009 Why have you prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, This house
shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate,

in the house of Yahweh.
026:010 When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up
from the king's house to the house of Yahweh; and they sat
in the entry of the new gate of Yahweh's [house].
026:011 Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes
