And I withdrew not from following after thee; I desired not man's day, thou knewest: the going forth of my lips was straight before thee.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, was this word from Jehovah, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Stand in the enclosure of the house of Jehovah and speak to all the cities of Judah coming to worship in the house of Jehovah, all the words which I command thee to speak to them; thou shalt not withhold a word. Perhaps they will hear and turn back a man from his evil way, and I lamented for the evil which I purposed to do to them from the face of the evil of their doings. read more.
And say to them, Thus said Jehovah, If ye will not hear to me to go in my law which I gave before your face, To hear to the words of my servants the prophets which I sent to you, and rising early and sending, and ye heard not; And I gave this house as Shiloh, and this city I will give for cursing to all the nations of the earth. And the priests and the prophets and all the people will hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah. And it will be as Jeremiah finished to speak all which Jehovah commanded to speak to all the people, and the priests and the prophets and all the people will seize him, saying, Dying, thou shalt die. Wherefore didst thou prophesy in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be as Shiloh, and this city shall be laid waste from none inhabiting? And all the people will be convoked together to Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah. And the chiefs of Judah will hear these words, and they will come up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and they will sit in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah. And the priests and the prophets will say to the chiefs, and to all the people, saying, The judgment of death for this man, for he prophesied against this city, as ye heard with your ears.

And now make good your ways and your doings, and hear to the voice of Jehovah your God; and Jehovah will lament for the evil which he spake against you. And I, behold me in your hand do to me as the good and right in your eyes: But knowing, ye shall know that if ye put me to death, that ye give innocent blood upon yourselves and upon this city, and to her inhabitants: for in truth Jehovah sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.

And Jeremiah will say to king Zedekiah, What did I sin against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people that thou gavest me to the house of the prison?
