*
Do not trust in these lying words ,
saying , "
The temple of the LORD ,
the temple of the LORD ,
the temple of the LORD are these .'
* "
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings ,
if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor ,
*
if you do not oppress the stranger ,
the fatherless ,
and the widow ,
and do not shed innocent blood in this place ,
or walk after other gods to your hurt ,
*
then I will cause you to dwell in this place ,
in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever .
* "
Behold ,
you trust in lying words that cannot profit .
*
Will you steal ,
murder ,
commit adultery ,
swear falsely ,
burn incense to Baal ,
and walk after other gods whom you do not know ,
*
and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name ,
and say , "
We are delivered to do all these abominations '?
*
Has this house ,
which is called by My name ,
become a den of thieves in your eyes ?
Behold ,
I ,
even I ,
have seen it ,"
says the LORD .
* "
But go now to My place which was in Shiloh ,
where I set My name at the first ,
and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel .
