Notes

Jeremiah 26:4–6

The ancestors of the people chose disobedience, which led to the destruction of their sanctuary at Shiloh, north of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 7:12–15; 1 Samuel 1–4). In the same way, if the people in Jeremiah's time continued to disobey the covenant commands, the Temple and Jerusalem would be destroyed.

Jeremiah 26:1–24

Jeremiah went on trial in front of the priests and prophets. The trial focused on the Temple's holiness because Jeremiah said the Lord would destroy both the Temple and Jerusalem.
