Jeremiah 7:1-8

Jeremiah 7:1-8 CSB

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD   and there call out this word: ‘Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD. “ ‘This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Correct your ways and your actions,  and I will allow you to live in this place. Do not trust deceitful words, chanting, “This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.” Instead, if you really correct your ways and your actions, if you act justly toward one another,  , if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow  and no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods, bringing harm on yourselves, I will allow you to live in this place, the land I gave to your ancestors  long ago and forever. But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.
