11 Has this house which bears my name become in your eyes a den of thieves? I have seen it for myself!—oracle of the Lord.
12 Go to my place at Shiloh, where I made my name dwell in the beginning. See what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because you have committed all these deeds—oracle of the Lord—because you did not listen, though I spoke to you untiringly, and because you did not answer, though I called you,
14 I will do to this house, which bears my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your ancestors, exactly what I did to Shiloh.
15 I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away all your kindred, all the offspring of Ephraim.
16 You, now, must not intercede for this people! Do not raise a cry or prayer in their behalf! Do not press me, for I will not listen to you!
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem?
