“Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.”
The summary statement emphasizing that the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD establishes that the message was publicly delivered to the assembled religious and political leadership. The setting in the temple during what appears to be an official assembly ensures maximum visibility and hearing. The plural hearing indicates that the word is witnessed by many. The verse shows that the people cannot claim ignorance of the warning.
