Yirmeyah’s preaching in the temple

Jer 7:1–15

7Yahweh’s message came to Yirmeyah (Jeremiah):

2Stand at the gate at Yahweh’s temple and proclaim this message, saying:

Listen to Yahweh’s message,

all you people of Yehudah (Judah) who enter these gates to worship Yahweh.

3Yisrael’s god, Commander-in-chief Yahweh says that

you all must improve your ways,

≈ and make them right

so that I’ll allow you all to live in this land.

4Don’t trust in deceptive words that say,

‘Yahweh’s temple is here.’

≈ ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple.’

5Yes, if you all really make your behaviour good,

≈ and everyone really acts fairly towards their neighbours,

6and you all don’t oppress strangers, orphans, or widows,

and don’t shed innocent blood in this place

or follow after other gods that will harm you,

7then I’ll allow you all to live in this place in the land that I gave to your ancestors from ancient times and for the future to come.

8Listen, you’re all relying on deceptive messages which can’t profit. 9Will you all keep stealing and murdering, committing adultery and telling lies in court, offering incense to Baal and following other gods that you didn’t previously know. 10Then you all come here and stand in front of this temple that’s associated with my name, and say that you’re saved while you all continue to do all those disgusting things. 11This house which bears my name has become a robbers’ den in your eyes. Listen, I’ve also seen it. That is Yahweh’s utterance.[ref] 12But please go to my place in Shiloh where I had previously had my tent and my name resided, and see what I did to destroy that place due to the wickedness of my people, Yisrael.[ref] 13So now Yahweh declares that because you’ve all been doing those things, and I’ve spoken to you all over and over again but you wouldn’t listen, and I called you all but you wouldn’t answer, 14then I’ll do what I did to Shiloh, to this house that’s called by my name—the temple that you’ve all trusted in, and the place that I gave to you and your ancestors. 15I’ll throw you all away where I can’t see you just as I threw out all your relatives, all of Efrayim’s descendants, from the northern kingdom.
