Jeremiah 26:5-7
New English Translation
5 You must pay attention to the exhortations of my servants the prophets. I have sent them to you over and over again.[a] But you have not paid any attention to them. 6 If you do not obey me,[b] then I will do to this temple what I did to Shiloh.[c] And I will make this city an example to be used in curses by people from all the nations on the earth.’”
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say these things in the Lord’s temple.

- Jeremiah 26:6 tn 26:4-6 are all one long sentence containing a long condition with subordinate clauses (vv. 4-5) and a compound consequence in v. 6: Heb “If you will not obey me by walking in my law…by paying attention to the words of the prophets, whom…and you did not pay heed, then I will make…and I will make…” The sentence has been broken down in conformity to contemporary English style, but an attempt has been made to reflect all the subordinations in the English translation.
