Jeremiah 7:4-15
King James Version
4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12 But go ye now unto 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.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

Jeremiah 7:4-15
English Standard Version
4 (A)Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’
5 “For if you truly (B)amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly (C)execute justice one with another, 6 if you (D)do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, (E)or shed innocent blood in this place, (F)and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, 7 (G)then I will let you dwell in this place, (H)in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 (I)Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, (J)swear falsely, (K)make offerings to Baal, (L)and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before me in this house, (M)which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 (N)Has this house, (O)which is called by my name, (P)become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord. 12 Go now to (Q)my place that was in Shiloh, (R)where I made my name dwell at first, and (S)see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and (T)when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and (U)when I called you, you did not answer, 14 therefore I will do to (V)the house (W)that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, (X)as I did to Shiloh. 15 (Y)And I will cast you out of my sight, (Z)as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of (AA)Ephraim.
