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.d 3 Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I might relente concerning the disaster that I plan to do to them because of the evil of their deeds. 4 You are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me by living according to my instruction that I set before youf 5 and by listening to the words of my servants the prophetsg—whom I have been sending to you time and time again,B h though you did not listen—6 I will make this temple like Shiloh.i I will make this city an example for cursing for all the nations of the earth.’ ”
