New Testament

Jeremiah 7:4-11 English Revised Version (ERV)

4. Trust ye not 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 throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

6. 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 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.

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 have not known,

10. and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations.

11. Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD.
