Jeremiah 7:9–11

⁹Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known, ¹⁰and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’? ¹¹Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers^a in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
