⁸Behold, ye confide in words of falsehood that cannot profit.
⁹What? steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not …
¹⁰then ye come and stand before me, in this house which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered,--in order to do all these abominations!
¹¹Is this house, which is called by my name, a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I, behold, I have seen it, saith Jehovah.
¹²For go now unto 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.
¹³And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spoke unto you, rising up early and speaking, and ye heard not, and I called you, and ye answered not;
¹⁴I will even do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh;
¹⁵and I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim. (Jer. 7:6‑15)
