View In My Bible
1
The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said,
2
"Go to the entrance of the LORD's Temple, and give this message to the people: 'O Judah, listen to this message from the LORD! Listen to it, all of you who worship here!
3
The LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Even now, if you quit your evil ways, I will let you stay in your own land.
4
But do not be fooled by those who repeatedly promise your safety because the Temple of the LORD is here.
5
I will be merciful only if you stop your wicked thoughts and deeds and are fair to others;
6

7

8

9
