Jeremiah 7:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ Don’t ·trust [put confidence in] ·the lies of people who say [^Lfalse words], “This is the Temple of the Lord. This is the Temple of the Lord. This is the Temple of the Lord [^Cpresumptuously thinking that God will not destroy the city as long as his house is there]!” ⁵ You must ·change your lives and do what is right [^Lreform/amend your ways/paths and your deeds]. Be fair to each other. ⁶ You must not ·be hard on [oppress] ·strangers [resident aliens], orphans, and widows [Deut. 10:18]. Don’t ·kill [^Lspill the blood of] innocent people in this place! Don’t ·follow [^Lgo after] other gods, or they will ·ruin [harm; hurt] your lives.
