"You must pay attention to the exhortations of my servants the prophets. I have sent them to you over and over again. But you have not paid any attention to them."
— Jeremiah 26:5, NET Bible
“To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;”
“to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send unto you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened; ”
“to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;”
“To give ear to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you rising up early: and sending, and you have not hearkened:”
“And give ear to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, getting up early and sending them, though you gave no attention;”
“To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;”
The LORD said,“Go stand in the courtyard of the LORD’s temple. Speak out to all the people who are coming from the towns of Judah to worship in the LORD’s temple. Tell them everything I command you to tell them. Do not leave out a single word!
Maybe they will pay attention and each of them will stop living the evil way they do. If they do that, then I will forgo destroying them as I had intended to do because of the wicked things they have been doing.
Tell them that the LORD says,‘You must obey me! You must live according to the way I have instructed you in my laws.
You must pay attention to the exhortations of my servants the prophets. I have sent them to you over and over again. But you have not paid any attention to them.
If you do not obey me, then I will do to this temple what I did to Shiloh. And I will make this city an example to be used in curses by people from all the nations on the earth.’”
The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say these things in the LORD’s temple.
Jeremiah had just barely finished saying all the LORD had commanded him to say to all the people. All at once some of the priests, the prophets, and the people grabbed him and shouted,“You deserve to die!
