1At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
2"This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
“thus saith the Lord, stand in the court of the Lord's house and speak unto all the cities of Judah which come to worship in the Lord's house all of the words that I command thee to speak unto them and diminish not a word.”
“Thus saith the Lord, Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord's house. All the words that I command thee to speak unto them diminish not a word.”
3Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
“If so be they will hearken and turn every man from his evil way that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”
“If so be they hearken and turn every man from his evil way. That I may repent me of the evil. Which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”
4And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: 'If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
“And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have set before you,”
“Thou shalt say unto them thus saith the Lord, if you will not hearken to me to walk in my law which I have set before you,”
5and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,
“to hearken to the words of my servants, the prophets whom I have sent unto you, both rising up early and sending them, but you have not hearkened.”
“to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, both rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened,”
6then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.'"
“Then will I make this house like Shiloh and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.”
“Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.”
7Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,
“so the priest and the prophets and all of the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.”
“the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.”
8and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, "You must surely die!
“Now it came to pass when Jeremiah had made an end of his speaking that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto the people that the priest and the prophets and all of the people took him saying thou shalt surely die.”
“it came to pass, and Jeremiah made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.”
9How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!" And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
“Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying this house shall be like Shiloh and this city shall be desolate without inhabitation? Then all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.”
10When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king's palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.

13So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.
“Therefore now amend your ways and your doings and obey the voice of the Lord your God and the Lord will repent him or sigh of the evil that he has pronounced against you.”
