8
[But] look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.
Jeremiah 7:8 In-Context
6
if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,
7
then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors for ever and ever.
8
But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.
9
“ ‘Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known,
10
and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?
