Jeremiah 7:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 if you no longer oppress the alien,[a] the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow after other gods to your own harm,(A) 7 only then will I let you continue to dwell in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors long ago and forever.(B)
8 But look at you! You put your trust in deceptive words to your own loss!
