Jeremiah 7:3-15

3ThusH3541 saysH559 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: CorrectH3190 your waysH1870 and deedsH4611, and I will let you liveH7931 in thisH2088 placeH4725. 4Do notH408 trustH982 inH413 deceptiveH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559:

‘This is the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068,the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068,the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068.’

5ForH3588 ifH518 you really correctH3190 your waysH1870 and deedsH4611, ifH518 you actH6213 justlyH4941H996 toward oneH376H996 anotherH7453, 6if you noH3808 longer oppressH6231 the foreignerH1616 and the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490, and if you noH408 longer shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in thisH2088 placeH4725 or followH310H1980 otherH312H3808 godsH430 to your own harmH7451, 7then I will let you liveH7931 in thisH2088 placeH4725, in the landH776 thatH834 I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1 foreverH4480H5769 andH5704 everH5769.

8But lookH2009, youH859 keep trustingH982 inH5921 deceptiveH8267 wordsH1697 to noH1115 availH3276. 9Will you stealH1589 and murderH7523, commit adulteryH5003 and perjuryH7650H8267, burn incenseH6999 to BaalH1168, and followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 thatH834 you have notH3808 knownH3045, 10and then comeH935 and standH5975 before MeH6440 in thisH2088 houseH1004, which bearsH7121 My NameH8034H5921, and sayH559, ‘We are deliveredH5337, soH4616 we can continue withH6213 allH3605 theseH428 abominationsH8441’? 11Has thisH2088 houseH1004, whichH834 bearsH7121 My NameH8034, becomeH1961 a denH4631 of robbersH65301 inH5921 your sightH5869? YesH2009, IH595 tooH1571 have seen itH7200, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

12ButH3588 goH1980 nowH4994 toH413 the placeH4725 in ShilohH7887 whereH834 I firstH7223 made a dwellingH7931 for My NameH8034H8033, and seeH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 to it because ofH6440 the wickednessH7451 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 13And nowH6258, becauseH3282 you have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, and because I have spokenH1696 to youH413 again and againH7925H16962 but you would notH3808 listenH8085, and I have calledH7121 to youH853 but you would notH3808 answerH6030, 14therefore what I didH6213 to ShilohH7887 I will now doH6213 to the houseH1004 thatH834 bearsH7121 My NameH8034H5921, the house in whichH834 youH859 trustH982, the placeH4725 thatH834 I gaveH5414 to you and your fathersH1. 15And I will castH7993 youH853 out ofH5921 My presenceH6440, just asH834 I have cast outH7993 allH3605 your brothersH251, allH3605 the descendantsH2233 of EphraimH669.
