Jeremiah 7:4-10

4Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.'

5"For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another,

6if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,

7then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.

8"Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.

9Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,

10and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'—only to go on doing all these abominations?
