Bible: Jer. 7:4-8
7:4 Stop putting your confidence in the false belief that says, 1 “We are safe! 2 The temple of the Lord is here! The temple of the Lord is here! The temple of the Lord is here!” 3 7:5 You must change 4 the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly. 5 7:6 Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands. 6 Stop killing innocent people 7 in this land. Stop paying allegiance to 8 other gods. That will only bring about your ruin. 9 7:7 If you stop doing these things, 10 I will allow you to continue to live in this land 11 which I gave to your ancestors as a lasting possession. 12
7:8 “‘But just look at you! 13 You are putting your confidence in a false belief 14 that will not deliver you. 15
