"For if you direct your ways and your intentions well, if you exercise judgment between a man and his neighbor, "
— Jeremiah 7:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;”
“For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; ”
“For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;”
“You must change the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly.”
“For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgment between a man and his neighbour,”
“For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;”
“For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;”
“Stand at the gate to the house of the Lord, and preach this word there, and say: Listen to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter through these gates to adore the Lord.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Make your ways and your intentions good, and I will live with you in this place.
Do not choose to trust in lying words, saying: ‘This is the temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord!’
For if you direct your ways and your intentions well, if you exercise judgment between a man and his neighbor,
if you do not act with deceit toward the new arrival, the orphan, and the widow, and if you do not pour out innocent blood in this place, and if you do not walk after strange gods, which is to your own harm,
then I will live with you in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers from the beginning and even forever.
Behold, you trust in false words, which will not benefit you,
