Jeremiah 26:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ When Jeremiah finished speaking ·everything [^Lall the words] the Lord had commanded him to say, the priests, prophets, and all the people ·grabbed [seized] Jeremiah. They said, “You must die! 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.
