Jeremiah26:9

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD , saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD .

They charge him with being a false Prophet, speaking false things in the name of God, their pretence seemeth to have been from the Promises of God; such as that, Psal. 132.13, 14, For the Lord hath chosen Zion, he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever, here will I dwell, for I have desired it. Which they interpreted into such a sense as if they could not by their sin drive God away from them, and therefore Ieremiah must prophesie falsly, against the Will of God before revealed.

This caused a seditious Tumult of the People in the Temple, which alarum'd the Civil Magistrates.
