Jeremiah 7:4-11

Leeser(i) 4 But do not rely on the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, as they say. 5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt: 7 Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity. 8 Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit. 9 How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba’al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge; 10 And then come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are delivered;” in order to do all these abominations? 11 Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? But I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord.
