^{3 Ref} Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

^{4 Ref} Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these.

^{5 Ref} For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

^{6 Ref} if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:

^{7 Ref} then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore.

^{8 Ref} Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

^{9 Ref} Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,

^{10 Ref} and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?

^{11 Ref} Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah.
