Jeremiah 7:14-16
New English Translation
14 So I will destroy this temple that I have claimed as my own,[a] this temple that you are trusting to protect you. I will destroy this place that I gave to you and your ancestors,[b] just like I destroyed Shiloh.[c] 15 And I will drive you out of my sight just like I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel.’[d]
16 “But as for you, Jeremiah,[e] do not pray for these people. Do not raise a cry of prayer[f] for them! Do not plead with me to save them,[g] because I will not listen to you.
