9 “‘Will you steal(L) and murder,(M) commit adultery(N) and perjury,[a](O) burn incense to Baal(P) and follow other gods(Q) you have not known, 10 and then come and stand(R) before me in this house,(S) which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?(T) 11 Has this house,(U) which bears my Name, become a den of robbers(V) to you? But I have been watching!(W) declares the Lord.

4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not 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, for ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
