Jeremiah 26:11-15

Jeremiah 26:11-15 TPT

Then the priests and prophets said to the leaders and all the people, “This man deserves to die, since he has prophesied horrible things against this city, which you yourselves have heard.” Then Jeremiah defended himself before all the leaders and the people, saying, “YAHWEH himself sent me to prophesy this message you have heard me speak against this temple and this city. But if you stop doing evil, change your ways, and obey the voice of YAHWEH your God, then YAHWEH will stop the impending disaster and relent of what he has decreed against you. As for me, I am in your hands. Do with me whatever seems right to you. Only be sure of this: if you put me to death, you will be bringing innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its people, since YAHWEH has truly sent me to bring you the warning you have heard.”
