3ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “1AmendH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611, and I will let you liveH7931 in thisH2088 placeH4725. 42Do not trustH982 in deceptiveH8267 wordsH1697, sayingH559, ‘3ThisH1992 is the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, the templeH1964 of the LordH3068.’ 5For 4ifH518 you trulyH3190 amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611, ifH518 you trulyH6213 5practiceH6213 justiceH4941 betweenH996 a personH376 and his neighborH7453, 6if you do not oppressH6231 the strangerH1616, the 67orphanH3490, or the widowH490, and do not shedH8210 8innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in thisH2088 placeH4725, norH3808 9followH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 to your own ruinH7451, 7then I will let you 10liveH7931 in thisH2088 placeH4725, in the 11landH776 that I gaveH5414 to your fathersH1 foreverH4480H5769 and everH5769.

8“BeholdH2009, you are trustingH982 in 12deceptiveH8267 wordsH1697 to noH1115 availH3276. 9Will you stealH1589, murderH7523, commitH5003 adulteryH5003, swearH7650 falselyH8267, 1314offerH6999 sacrificesH6999 to BaalH1168, and followH1980H310 15otherH312 godsH430 that you have not knownH3045, 10then 16comeH935 and standH5975 beforeH6440 Me in 17thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 is calledH7121 by My nameH8034, and sayH559, ‘We are savedH5337!’--soH4616 thatH4616 you may doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 abominationsH8441? 11Has 18thisH2088 houseH1004, whichH834 is calledH7121 by My nameH8034, becomeH1961 a 19denH4631 of robbersH6530 in your sightH5869? BeholdH2009, 20I MyselfH595H1571 have seenH7200 it,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

12“But goH1980 nowH4994 to My placeH4725 whichH834 was in 21ShilohH7887, whereH834H8033 I 22made My nameH8034 dwellH7931 at the beginningH7223, and 23seeH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 to it becauseH4480H6440 of the wickednessH7463 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
