Jeremiah 7:4-11
-
4 Trust 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 throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
-
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
-
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
-
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
-
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk 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 this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
