False Trust in the Temple

8

Behold, you trust in lying words, that can’t profit.

9

Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,

10

and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‛We are delivered;’ that you may do all these abominations?

11

Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the LORD.

12

“But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

13

Now, because you have done all these works,” says the LORD, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you didn’t hear; and I called you, but you didn’t answer:

14

therefore will I do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

15

I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
