Jeremiah 7:3-12

3Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “1Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. 42Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, ‘3This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’ 5For 4if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly 5practice justice between a man and his neighbor, 6if you do not oppress the alien, the 67orphan, or the widow, and do not shed 8innocent blood in this place, nor 9walk after other gods to your own ruin, 7then I will let you 10dwell in this place, in the 11land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

8“Behold, you are trusting in 12deceptive words to no avail. 9Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and 1314offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after 15other gods that you have not known, 10then 16come and stand before Me in 17this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’--that you may do all these abominations? 11Has 18this house, which is called by My name, become a 19den of robbers in your sight? Behold, 20I, even I, have seen it,” declares the Lord.

12“But go now to My place which was in 21Shiloh, where I 22made My name dwell at the first, and 23see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
