Jeremiah 7:3–11

³Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place. ⁴Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah are they! ⁵For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour, ⁶Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves, ⁷Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age. ⁸Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit. ⁹Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not. ¹⁰And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, ‘We have been delivered,’ In order to do all these abominations. ¹¹A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
