Jeremia 26:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:7

So the priests, and the prophets, and all the people
As it was in the temple, in one of the courts of it, that Jeremiah was, and said the above things, it is no wonder to hear of the "priests", since they were there about their work and service; the "prophets" were the false prophets, as the Septuagint and Arabic versions expressly call them; and "all the people" were all the males out of the several cities of Judah, who were come up to the temple on the account of the feast; see ( Jeremiah 26:2 ) ; now these heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord;
in the temple; in the court of Israel; they heard him out, and did not interrupt him while he was speaking; and having heard him, they were angry with him, and were witnesses against him; they did not hear him so as to obey his words, receive his instructions, and follow, his directions; but they heard him with indignation, and were determined to prosecute him unto death.

Jeremia 26:7 In-Context

5 daß ihr auf die Worte meiner Knechte, der Propheten, höret, welche ich zu euch sende, früh mich aufmachend und sendend (ihr habt aber nicht gehört):

6 so will ich dieses Haus wie Silo machen, und diese Stadt werde ich zum Fluche machen allen Nationen der Erde.

7 Und die Priester und die Propheten und alles Volk hörten Jeremia diese Worte reden im Hause Jehovas.

8 Und es geschah, als Jeremia alles zu Ende geredet, was Jehova geboten hatte, zu dem ganzen Volke zu reden, da ergriffen ihn die Priester und die Propheten und alles Volk und sprachen: Du mußt gewißlich sterben.

9 Warum hast du im Namen Jehovas geweissagt und gesprochen: Dieses Haus wird wie Silo werden, und diese Stadt verwüstet, ohne Bewohner? Und alles Volk versammelte sich gegen Jeremia im Hause Jehovas.
