The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 aStand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. 3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, bAmend your ways and your doings, and cI will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 dTrust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. 5 For if ye bthroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye ethroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If 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: 7 ckThen will I cause you to dwell in this place, in kkthe land kthat I gave to your fathers, lfor ever and ever.

8 Behold, dye trust in mlying words, that cannot profit. 9 Will ye nsteal, murder, and commit adultery, and oswear falsely, and pburn incense unto Baal, and hwalk after other gods whom ye know not; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, †which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is 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. 12 But 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. 13 And 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; 14 Therefore 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. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, aas I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of bEphraim.
