Jeremiah 7:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ While you have been sinning, I have been trying to talk to you, but you refuse to listen. ¹⁴ Don't think this temple will protect you. Long ago I told your ancestors to build it and worship me here, but now I have decided to tear it down, just as I destroyed Shiloh. ¹⁵ And as for you, people of Judah, I'm going to send you away from my land, just as I sent away the people of Ephraim and the other northern tribes.
