3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: a“Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 aDo not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these.’
5 “For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly aexecute judgment between a man and his neighbor,
6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, aor walk after other gods to your hurt,
7 athen I will cause you to dwell in this place, in bthe land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
8 “Behold, you trust in alying words that cannot profit.
