Jeremiah 26:1-3

New Century Version

Jeremiah’s Lesson at the Temple

26 This message came from the Lord soon after Jehoiakim son of Josiah became king of Judah. ² This is what the Lord said: “Jeremiah, stand in the courtyard of the Temple of the Lord. Give this message to all the people of the towns of Judah who are coming to worship at the Temple of the Lord. Tell them everything I tell you to say; don’t leave out a word. ³ Maybe they will listen and stop their evil ways. If they will, I will change my mind about bringing on them the disaster that I am planning because of the evil they have done.
