4 Trust not in false lyenge wordes, sayeng: here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lorde.
5 But rather in deade amende your wayes and councels, and iudge ryght betwixte a man and his neyghbour:
6 oppresse not the straunger, the fatherles, & the wyddowe: shede not innocent bloud in thys place: cleue not to straunge goddes to your awne destruccion:
7 then wyll I let you dwell in this place, yee, in the land that I gaue afore tyme vnto youre fathers for euer.
8 But take hede: ye trust in lyinge tales, that begyle you & do you no good.
9 For when ye haue stollen, murthured, commytted aduoutry, & periury. When ye haue offred vnto Baal, folowyng straunge & vnknowne goddes shall ye be vnpunyshed?
10 Yet then come ye, & stande before me in this house, (which hath my name geuen vnto it) & saye. Tush, we are absolued quite, thoughe we haue done all these abhominacyons.
11 What? thyncke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of theues? And yea I se what you thynke, sayeth the Lorde.
12 Go to my place in Siloh, wherunto I gaue my name a fore tyme, and loke well what I dyd to the same place for the wyckednes of my people of Israell.
13 And nowe, though ye haue done all these dedes (sayeth the Lorde) and I my self rose vp euer by tymes to warne you & to comen with you, yet wolde ye not heare me. I called, ye wolde not answere.
14 And therfore, euen as I haue done vnto Siloh, so wyll I do to thys house, that my name is geuen vnto (& that ye put youre trust in) ye vnto the place that I haue geuen to you and your fathers.
