Jeremiah 7:3-7
New King James Version
3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (A)“Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 (B)Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these.’
5 “For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly (C)execute [a]judgment between a man and his neighbor, 6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, (D)or walk after other gods to your hurt, 7 (E)then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in (F)the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
