You must not commit any of these detestable things— not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.For the men who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable things, and the land has become defiled.If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.

They have raised a shout in the house of the Lord as on the day of an appointed festival.

Do not trust deceitful words, chanting: This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.Instead, if you really change your ways and your actions, if you act justly toward one another,if you no longer oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow and no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods, bringing harm on yourselves,I will allow you to live in this place, the land I gave to your ancestors long ago and forever.But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help.“ Do you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known?Then do you come and stand before Me in this house called by My name and say,‘ We are delivered, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts’?Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your view? Yes, I too have seen it.” This is the Lord’s declaration.“ But return to My place that was at Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at first. See what I did to it because of the evil of My people Israel.Now, because you have done all these things”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ and because I have spoken to you time and time again but you wouldn’t listen, and I have called to you, but you wouldn’t answer,what I did to Shiloh I will do to the house that is called by My name— the house in which you trust— the place that I gave you and your ancestors.I will drive you from My presence, just as I drove out all of your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.

Can they restore it by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they ever finish it? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said,“ Indeed, even if a fox climbed up what they are building, he would break down their stone wall!”Listen, our God, for we are despised. Make their insults return on their own heads and let them be taken as plunder to a land of captivity.
