Jeremiah 7:1-11

Darby Translation

7 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

² Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.

³ Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

⁴ Confide ye not in words of falsehood, saying, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple, Jehovah's temple is this.

⁵ But if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye really do justice between a man and his neighbour,

⁶ [if] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;

⁷ then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from of old even for ever.

⁸ Behold, ye confide in words of falsehood that cannot profit.

⁹ What? steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not …

¹⁰ then ye come and stand before me, in this house which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered,—in order to do all these abominations!

¹¹ Is this house, which is called by my name, a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I, behold, I have seen it, saith Jehovah.
