Jeremiah’s Speech in the Temple

26 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim^(A) 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 Lord’s temple and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all Judah’s cities that are coming to worship there. Do not hold back a word.^{(B) 3} Perhaps they will listen and turn – each from his evil way of life – so that I might relent^(C) concerning the disaster that I plan to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.
