Jeremiah 26:12

10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the house of the Lord and sat down in the entry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house.

11 And the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and all the people, saying,¹ “This man deserves to ^adie! For he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”

12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and all the people, saying: “The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city with all the words that you have heard.

13 Now therefore, ^aamend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will relent concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you.

14 As for me, here ^aI am, in your hand; do with me as seems good and¹ proper to you.

15 But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing.”

17 ^aThen certain of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:
