3 Thus hath the Lord of the hosts the God of Israel said, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Do not trust in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord are these.
5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye thoroughly do right between a man and his neighbour,
6 if ye do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt,
7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers for ever and ever.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words that cannot profit.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not,
