Jeremiah 26:7

Hebrew Bible

6 If you do not obey me, then I will do to this temple what I did to Shiloh. And I will make this city an example to be used in curses by people from all the nations on the earth.’” 7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah say these things in the Lord’s temple. 8 Jeremiah had just barely finished saying all the Lord had commanded him to say to all the people when all at once some of the priests, the prophets, and the people grabbed him and shouted, “You deserve to die!

LXX Jeremiah 33:7

Septuagint

6 I will also give this house up like Shiloh; and I will give the city up as a curse to all the nations of every land.”’” 7 And the priests and the false prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. 8 And this happened: Jeremiah ceased speaking all those things that the Lord had appointed for him to speak to all the people, and the priests and the false prophets and all the people captured him, saying, “You will surely be put to death!”

 Notes and References
"... Dissociation from the nations is mirrored sometimes also terminologically: the translators of Septuagint avoid the term µάντις for “prophet” ... This topic, known from Tobit 14:4 caused changes in Amos 5:1; Jeremiah 1:1; 45:27; 51:29. Some of them can be caused by the Vorlage; in other cases it is uncertain. In Jeremiah 33[26]:7, where איבנ ('prophet') is translated by ψευδοπροφήτης ('false prophet'), the lack of divine authority is marked. It is not possible that a prophet who is really sent by God would partake in the priest’s activity against Jeremiah ..."
