Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD ,
saying ,
*
Stand in the gate of the LORDS 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 .
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Amend your ways and your doings ma #
alal #,
and I will cause you to dwell in this place .
*
Trust ye not in lying words ,
saying ,
The temple of the LORD ,
The temple of the LORD ,
The temple of the LORD ,
are these .
*
For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings ma #
alal #;
if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour ;
*
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 :
*
Then will I cause you to dwell in this place ,
in the land that I gave to your fathers ,
for ever and ever .
*
Behold ,
ye trust in lying words ,
that cannot profit .
*
Will ye steal ,
murder ,
and commit adultery ,
and swear falsely ,
and burn incense unto Baal Ba #
al #,
and walk after other gods whom ye know not ;
*
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 tow #
ebah #?
*
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 .
*
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh ,
where I set my name at the first ri #
shown #,
and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And now ,
because ye have done all these works ma #
aseh #,
saith the LORD ,
and I spake unto you ,
rising up early and speaking ,
but ye heard not ;
and I called you ,
but ye answered not ;
*
Therefore will I do unto this house ,
which is called by my name ,
wherein ye trust 8802 ),
and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers ,
as I have done to Shiloh .
*
And I will cast you out of my sight ,
as I have cast out all your brethren ,
even the whole seed of Ephraim .
*
Therefore pray not thou for this people ,
neither lift up cry nor prayer for them b @#
ad #,
neither make intercession to me :
for I will not hear thee .
