“So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord.”
The response of the priests and prophets and all the people who seized Jeremiah shows the immediate and violent reaction to his message. The gathering against him suggests coordinated opposition rather than individual response. The seizing represents an attempt to prevent further speech and to punish the prophet. The verse shows the hostility that opposition to false prophecy can generate.
