Lyrics
8Now it happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to
speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, "You will
surely die! 9Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and
this city shall be desolate, without an inhabitant'?" And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in
the house of the Lord. 10When 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. 11And the
priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and all the people, saying, "This man deserves to die! For he
has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears. 12Then 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. 13Now therefore, amend 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. 14As for me, here I am, in your hand; do with me as seems good and proper to you. 15But 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.
