Jeremiah 7:3-15

3This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “1Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you live 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 person and his neighbor, 6if you do not oppress the stranger, the 67orphan, or the widow, and do not shed 8innocent blood in this place, nor 9follow other gods to your own ruin, 7then I will let you 10live 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, commit adultery, swear falsely, 1314offer sacrifices to Baal, and follow 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 saved!’--so 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 Myself 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 beginning, and 23see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. 13And now, because you have done all these things,” declares the Lord, “and I spoke to you, 24speaking again and again, but you did not listen, and I 25called you but you did not answer, 14therefore I will do to the 26house which is called by My name, 27in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your fathers, just as I 28did to Shiloh. 15I will 29hurl you out of My sight, just as I have hurled out all your brothers, all the 30descendants of 31Ephraim.
