7 I will allow you to live in this place, the land I gave to your ancestorsi long ago and forever. 8 But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.

9 “ ‘Do you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known?j 10 Then do you come and stand before me in this housek that bears my name and say, “We are rescued, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts”? 11 Has this house, which bears my name, become a den of robbersl in your view? Yes, I too have seen it.m

This is the Lord’s declaration.

SHILOH AS A WARNING

12 “ ‘But return to my place that was at Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first.n See what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.
