Jeremiah 7:3-10

New International Version

³ This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways^(A) and your actions, and I will let you live^(B) in this place. ⁴ Do not trust^(C) in deceptive^(D) words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!” ⁵ If you really change^(E) your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly,^{(F) 6} if you do not oppress^(G) the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood^(H) in this place, and if you do not follow other gods^(I) to your own harm, ⁷ then I will let you live in this place, in the land^(J) I gave your ancestors^(K) for ever and ever. ⁸ But look, you are trusting^(L) in deceptive^(M) words that are worthless.

⁹ “‘Will you steal^(N) and murder,^(O) commit adultery^(P) and perjury,^[a](Q) burn incense to Baal^(R) and follow other gods^(S) you have not known, ¹⁰ and then come and stand^(T) before me in this house,^(U) which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?^(V)
