³ Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “^(A)Make your ways and your deeds good, and I will let you dwell in this place. ^4 (B)Do not trust in lying words, saying, ‘^[a]This is the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh.’ ⁵ For ^(C)if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly ^(D)do justice between a man and his neighbor, ⁶ if you do not oppress the sojourner, the ^[b](E)orphan, or the widow, and do not shed ^(F)innocent blood in this place, nor ^(G)walk after other gods to your own evil demise, ⁷ then I will let you ^(H)dwell in this place, in the ^(I)land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

¹¹ So now then, speak to the men of Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Behold, I am ^(A)forming calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh ^(B)turn back, each of you from his evil way, and do good in your ways and your deeds.”’

^31 (A)Cast away from yourselves all your transgressions which you have committed and ^[a]make yourselves a ^(B)new heart and a new spirit! Now why will you die, O house of Israel?
