⁴⁶ Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

⁷ I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

¹¹ Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.

⁵ Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.

¹² This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.

⁷ So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

¹³ But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.
