So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking God's message in the house of the Lord. That hearing stirred anger and hostility, so they gathered together against him and threatened his life. Their rage came because he proclaimed judgment instead of speaking reassuring words they wanted to hear. The judgment that provoked them was his warning that the temple and the city would be destroyed.
