Jeremiah 7:1-7

The Temple Sermon

Jeremiah 7:1-7
1
This word came to Yirmeyahu from ADONAI:
2
"Stand at the gate of the house of ADONAI and proclaim this word: 'Listen to the word of ADONAI, all you from Y'hudah who enter these gates to worship ADONAI!
3
Here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: "Improve your ways and actions, and I will let you stay in this place.
4
Don't rely on that deceitful slogan, 'The temple of ADONAI, the temple of ADONAI - these [buildings] are the temple of ADONAI.'
5
No, but if you really improve your ways and actions; if you really administer justice between people;
6
if you stop oppressing foreigners, orphans and widows; if you stop shedding innocent blood in this place; and if you stop following other gods, to your own harm;
7
then I will let you stay in this place, in the land I gave to your ancestors forever and ever.
