11. Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.”
12. Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “the Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13. Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the Lord your God’s voice; then the Lord will relent from the evil that he has pronounced against you.
