Contextual Overview
7 The religious leaders and the men of God and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. 8 And when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had told him to speak to all the people, the religious leaders and men of God and all the people took hold of him, saying, "You must die! 9 Why have you spoken in the name of the Lord saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be laid waste with no one living in it'?" And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord. 10 When the leaders of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord and sat beside the New Gate of the Lord's house. 11 Then the religious leaders and men of God said to the leaders and to all the people, "This man must die! For he has spoken against this city, as you have heard with your own ears." 12 Then Jeremiah said to all the leaders and to all the people, "The Lord sent me to speak against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard. 13 So now change your ways and your works, and obey the voice of the Lord your God. Then the Lord will change His mind about the trouble He has said would come to you. 14 But as for me, see, I am in your hands. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes. 15 Only know for sure that if you put me to death, you will bring the sin of killing a man who is not guilty on yourselves, on this city, and on its people. For it is true that the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words for you to hear."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand,.... In their power, as they were the chief court of judicature; and to whom it belonged to judge of prophets, and to acquit or condemn them, as they saw fit; wherefore he submits to their authority:
do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you; he was not careful about it; he readily submitted to their pleasure, and should patiently endure what they thought fit to inflict upon him; it gave him no great concern whether his life was taken from him or not; he was satisfied he had done what he ought to do, and should do the same, was it to do again; and therefore they might proceed just as they pleased against him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The answer of Jeremiah is simple and straightforward. Yahweh, he affirmed, had truly sent him, but the sole object of his prophesying had been to avert the evil by leading them to repentance. If they would amend their ways God would deliver them from the threatened doom. As for himself he was in their hands, but if they put him to death they would bring the guilt of shedding innocent blood upon themselves and upon the city.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 26:14. As for me, behold, I am in your hand — I am the messenger of God; you may do with me what you please; but if you slay me, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves.
