Jeremiah 7:8-15 Good News Bible (GNB)

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.

13. You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you.

14. And so, what I did to Shiloh I will do to this Temple of mine, in which you trust. Here in this place that I gave to your ancestors and to you, I will do the same thing that I did to Shiloh.

15. I will drive you out of my sight as I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
