1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying, 2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.” 3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, || And I cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Do not trust for yourselves || To the words of falsehood, saying, || The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH! 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, || If you thoroughly do judgment || Between a man and his neighbor, 6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, || And innocent blood is not shed in this place, || And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves, 7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, || In the land that I gave to your fathers, || From age even to age.
