New Testament

Jeremiah 7:4-9 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. Do not trust in lying words, saying, “The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.”

6. if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your harm,

7. then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.

8. Indeed, you trust in lying words that cannot profit.

9. Shall you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know,
