Jeremiah 26:8

Jeremiah Escapes Death

⁷ The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the temple of the Lord. ⁸ He finished the address the Lord had commanded him to deliver to all the people. Then the priests, the prophets, and all the people took hold of him, yelling, “You must surely die! ⁹ How dare you prophesy in the name of Yahweh, ‘This temple will become like Shiloh and this city will become an uninhabited ruin’!” Then all the people assembled against Jeremiah at the Lord’s temple.
