Jeremiah
Jeremiah 7:11–12
11Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbersa in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
12But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
