Jeremiah 7:3

Verse 3 of 34. The 7th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2“Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.’”

3The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

4Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘The LORD’s temple, the LORD’s temple, the LORD’s temple, are these.’

5For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

6if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,

7then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.
