8. Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9. Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not;
10. And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11. Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it,
12. But go you now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13. And now, because you have done all these works,
14. Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, in which you trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole descendants of Ephraim.
16. Therefore pray not for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear you.
17. See you not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
