Jeremiah 7:4-15 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.

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. ¹² For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing the prophets to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer: ¹⁴ Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. ¹⁵ And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
