Jeremiah 7:1-16

1The wordH1697 that came to JeremiahH3414 from Jehovah, sayingH559, 2StandH5975 in the gateH8179 of Jehovah’s houseH1004, and proclaimH7121 there this wordH1697, and sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, all ye of JudahH3063, that enter in at these gatesH8179 to worship Jehovah. 3ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Amend your waysH1870 and your doings, and I will cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725. 4TrustH982 ye not in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, The templeH1964 of Jehovah, the templeH1964 of Jehovah, the templeH1964 of Jehovah, are these. 5For if ye thoroughlyH3190 amend your waysH1870 and your doings; if ye thoroughlyH3190 execute justiceH4941 between a manH376 and his neighborH7453; 6if ye oppressH6231 not the sojournerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walk after otherH312 godsH430 to your own hurt: 7then will I cause you to dwellH7931 in this placeH4725, in the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1, from of old even for evermore.

8Behold, ye trustH982 in lyingH8267 wordsH1697, that cannot profitH3276. 9Will ye stealH1589, murderH7523, and commitH5003 adulteryH5003, and swearH7650 falsely, and burn incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and walkH1980 after otherH312 godsH430 that ye have not knownH3045, 10and comeH935 and standH5975 before me in this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and sayH559, We are deliveredH5337; that ye may do all these abominationsH8441? 11Is this houseH1004, which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, becomeH1961 a den of robbersH6530 in your eyesH5869? Behold, I, even I, have seenH7200 it, saith Jehovah.

12But go ye now unto my placeH4725 which was in ShilohH7887, whereH834 I caused my nameH8034 to dwellH7931 at the firstH7223, and seeH7200 what I did to it for the wickednessH7451 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 13And nowH6258, because ye have done all these worksH4639, saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and speakingH1696, but ye heardH8085 not; and I calledH7121 you, but ye answeredH6030 not: 14therefore will I do unto the houseH1004 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, wherein ye trustH982, and unto the placeH4725 which I gaveH5414 to you and to your fathersH1, as I did to ShilohH7887. 15And I will castH7993 you out of my sight, as I have castH7993 out all your brethren, even the whole seedH2233 of EphraimH669.

16Therefore prayH6419 not thou for this peopleH5971, neither liftH5375 up cryH7440 nor prayerH8605 for them, neither makeH8085 intercession to me; for I will not hearH8085 thee.
