American Standard Version
"Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. "
— Jeremiah 7:8, American Standard Version
“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.”
“Behold, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.”
““‘But just look at you! You are putting your confidence in a false belief that will not deliver you.”
“Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:”
“See, you put your faith in false words which are of no profit.”
“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.”
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore.
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,
and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah.
