1. The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2. Stand in the gate of Jehovah’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.
3. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these.
5. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
6. if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:
7. then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore.
