Jeremiah 7:4–14

^4dTrust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. ⁵For if ye ^bthroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye ^ethroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; ⁶If ^fye oppress not ^ethe stranger, ^egthe fatherless, and the widow, and ^eshed not innocent blood in this place, ^hneither walk after other gods ⁱto your hurt: ^7ckThen will I cause you to dwell in this place, in ^kkthe land ^kthat I gave to your fathers, ^lfor ever and ever.

⁸Behold, ^dye trust in ^mlying words, that cannot profit. ⁹Will ye ⁿsteal, murder, and commit adultery, and ^oswear falsely, and ^pburn incense unto Baal, and ^hwalk after other gods whom ye know not; ¹⁰And come and stand before me in this house, ^†which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? ¹¹Is ^qthis house, which is called by my name, become ^ra den of ^srobbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. ¹²But go ye now unto ^tmy place which was in ^tuShiloh, ^vwhere I set my name at the first, and see ^wwhat I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, ^xrising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and ^yI called you, but ye answered not; ¹⁴Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto ^zthe place which I gave to you and to your fathers, ^was I have done to Shiloh.
