Jeremiah 7:4-7 ▼

4 Do not trust in lying words, saying, ‘This is the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh.’

5 For if you truly make your ways and your deeds good, if you truly do justice between a man and his neighbor,

6 if you do not oppress the sojourner, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own evil demise,

7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
