"Behold, you trust in lying words, that can't profit."
— Jeremiah 7:8, World English Bible
“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.”
“Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot 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 you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
if you don't oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don't shed 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 forevermore.
Behold, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.
Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that you 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, says Yahweh.
