Jeremiah 7:4-14

LITV(i) 4 Do not trust yourself to lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah! The temple of Jehovah! This is the temple of Jehovah! 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor; 6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the orphan, and the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt; 7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from forever and to forever. 8 Behold, you trust for yourself on lying words without being of use. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know? 10 And will you then come and stand before Me in this house on which My name is called, and say, We are delivered in order to do all those detestable things. 11 Has this house on which My name is called become a den of violent ones in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen, declares Jehovah. 12 But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the evil of My people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works, says Jehovah, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear. Yea, I called you, but you did not answer. 14 And I will do to the house on which My name is called, in which you are trusting, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
