Jeremiah:7:4-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
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 ,
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 ?
*
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 ,
and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel .
*
And now ,
because ye have done all these works ,
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 ,
and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers ,
as I have done to Shiloh .
