Jeremiah 7:4-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Do not put your trust in these deceptive words: “The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord!”(A) 5 Only if you thoroughly reform your ways and your deeds; if each of you deals justly with your neighbor; 6 if you no longer oppress the alien,[a] the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow after other gods to your own harm,(B) 7 only then will I let you continue to dwell in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors long ago and forever.(C)

4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: “This is[a] the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.”
5 For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, 7 then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.
