Jeremiah 7:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Is this House become [a]a den of thieves, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Behold, even I see it, saith the Lord.
12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, [b]where I set my Name at the beginning, and behold, what I did to it for the wickedness, of my people Israel.
13 Therefore now because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, (and I [c]rose up early and spake unto you: but when I spake, ye would not hear me, neither when I called, would [d]ye answer.)
