Jeremiah 26:8

Jeremiah Escapes Death

⁷ The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say these things in the Lord's temple. ⁸ 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! ⁹ How dare you claim the Lord's authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!" Then all the people crowded around Jeremiah.
