Jeremiah 7:7-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
7then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
8Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
9Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, offer sacrifices to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
10then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are saved!’—so that you may do all these abominations?
11Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I Myself have seen it,' declares the Lord.
King James Version
8Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

Chapter 7
7I will allow you to live in this place, the land I gave to your ancestors long ago and forever. 8But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.New Living Translation
8‘Don’t be fooled into thinking that you will never suffer because the Temple is here. It’s a lie!
9Do you really think you can steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, and burn incense to Baal and all those other new gods of yours,
10and then come here and stand before me in my Temple and chant, 'We are safe!' — only to go right back to all those evils again?
11Don’t you yourselves admit that this Temple, which bears my name, has become a den of thieves? Surely I see all the evil going on there. I, the Lord, have spoken!
English Standard Version
