2“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
3Perhaps they will listen and turn —each from his evil way of life— so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
— Jeremiah 26:2-3
