Jeremiah 7:1-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

7 ¶ The word that was sent to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

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

³ Thus hath the LORD of the hosts the God of Israel said, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

⁴ Do not trust 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 thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly do right between a man and his neighbour,

⁶ if ye do not oppress 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 I will 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 free 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, said the LORD.
