Jeremiah 26:12-16

New International Version

¹² Then Jeremiah said to all the officials^(A) and all the people: “The Lord sent me to prophesy^(B) against this house and this city all the things you have heard.^{(C) 13} Now reform^(D) your ways and your actions and obey^(E) the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent^(F) and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. ¹⁴ As for me, I am in your hands;^(G) do with me whatever you think is good and right. ¹⁵ Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood^(H) on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words^(I) in your hearing.”

¹⁶ Then the officials^(J) and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death!^(K) He has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.”
