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.

King James Version
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.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
