Jeremiah 7:7-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

7. If you change, I will let you go on living here in the land which I gave your ancestors as a permanent possession.

8. “Look, you put your trust in deceitful words.

9. You steal, murder, commit adultery, tell lies under oath, offer sacrifices to Baal, and worship gods that you had not known before.

10. You do these things I hate, and then you come and stand in my presence, in my own Temple, and say, ‘We are safe!’

11. Do you think that my Temple is a hiding place for robbers? I have seen what you are doing.

12. Go to Shiloh, the first place where I chose to be worshipped, and see what I did to it because of the sins of my people Israel.
