New Testament

Jeremiah 7:6-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

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,

10. and come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, “We are delivered,” so that you may do all these abominations?

11. Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Certainly, even I have seen it, says the Lord.

12. But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.
