Jeremiah 7:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Will you steal and murder and be guilty of adultery? Will you falsely ·accuse other people [take oaths; swear]? Will you ·burn incense [make offerings] to the god Baal and ·follow [^Lgo after] other gods you have not known? ¹⁰ If you do that, do you think you can come before me and stand in this ·place [^Lhouse] ·where I have chosen to be worshiped [^Lwhich is called by my name]? Do you think you can say, “We are safe!” when you do all these ·hateful things [abominations]? ¹¹ This ·place [^Lhouse] ·where I have chosen to be worshiped [^Lthat is called by my name] is nothing more to you than a ·hideout [den] for robbers [Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46]. I have been watching you, says the Lord.
