Jeremiah 7:1-7 ▼

1 These are the wordes that God spake vnto Ieremie, saying:

2 Stande vnder the gate of the Lordes house, & crye out these wordes there with a loude voyce, and say, Heare the word of the Lorde all ye of Iuda, that go in at this doore to worship the Lorde:

3 Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes, the God of Israel: Amende your wayes and your counsels, and I wyll let you dwell in this place.

4 Trust not in false lying words, saying: Here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lorde:

5 But rather in deede amende your wayes and counsels, and iudge right betwixt a man and his neighbour,

6 Oppresse not the straunger, the fatherlesse, and the widowe, shed not innocent blood in this place, cleaue not to straunge gods to your owne destruction:

7 Then wyll I let you dwell in this place, yea in the land that I gaue afore tyme to your fathers for euer.
