Contextual Overview

1 At the beginning of the reign of Y'hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah, this word came from Adonai : 2 " Adonai says: ‘Stand in the courtyard of Adonai 's house and speak to the people from all the cities in Y'hudah who come to worship at Adonai 's house; say everything I order you to say to them, and don't leave out a word. 3 Maybe they will listen, and each of them turn from his evil way; then I will be able to relent from the disaster I intend to bring on them because of how evil their deeds are. 4 So tell them that this is what Adonai says: "If you will not pay attention to me and live according to my Torah, which I have given you, 5 and listen to what my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, say — I have sent them frequently, but you haven't listened — 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing for all the nations of the earth."'"

Psalms 78:60- : and

Psalms 78:60- :;

and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth; that is, the city of Jerusalem, which should be taken up, and used proverbially in all countries; who, when they would curse anyone, should say, the Lord make thee as Jerusalem, or do unto thee as he has done to Jerusalem.
