8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 (I)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, (J)swear falsely, (K)make offerings to Baal, (L)and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, (M)which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 (N)Has this house, (O)which is called by my name, (P)become a den of robbers in your eyes?
