Jeremiah 7:3-12

MSTC(i) 3 Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel. Amend your ways and your counsels, and I will let you dwell in this place. 4 Trust not in false lying words, saying, 'Here is the temple of the LORD, here is the temple of the LORD, here is the temple of the LORD.' 5 "For if ye will amend your ways and counsels, if ye will judge right betwixt a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye will not oppress the stranger, the fatherless and the widow; if ye will not shed innocent blood in this place; if ye will not cleave to strange gods to your own destruction; 7 then will I let you dwell in this place, yea in the land that I gave afore time unto your fathers forever. 8 But take heed: ye trust in counsels that beguile you and do you no good. 9 For when ye have stolen, murdered, committed adultery and penury; When ye have offered unto Baal, following strange and unknown gods; 10 Then come ye, and stand before me in this house, which hath my name given unto it, and say 'Tush, we are absolved quite, though we have done all these abominations.' 11 What? Think you this house that beareth my name, is a den of thieves? And these things are not done privily, but before mine eyes, sayeth the LORD. 12 Go to my place in Shiloh, whereunto I gave my name afore time, and look well what I did to the same place for the wickedness of my people of Israel.
