Jeremiah 7:8-15

View Full Chapter

8But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless. 9“ ‘Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, Or and swear by false gods burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, 10and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?

11Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the LORD . 12“ ‘Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. 13While you were doing all these things, declares the LORD, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer. 14Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors.

15I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’
