Jeremiah 7の有名な聖句

シェア

for when I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak with them  or command them concerning burnt offering and sacrifice. However, I did give them this command: ‘Obey me, and then I will be your God, and you will be my people. Follow every way I command you so that it may go well with you.’

Yet they didn’t listen or pay attention  but followed their own advice and their own stubborn, evil heart. They went backward and not forward.

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.

“ ‘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.
