7then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for ever. 8Behold, ye confide in words of falsehood that cannot profit. What? steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not... 10then ye come and stand before me, in this house which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered, — in order to do all these abominations! 11Is this house, which is called by my name, a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I, behold, I have seen it, saith Jehovah.
