1The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.
3The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says, Let your ways and your doings be changed for the better and I will let you go on living in this place.
4Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.
5For if your ways and your doings are truly changed for the better; if you truly give right decisions between a man and his neighbour;
6If you are not cruel to the man from a strange country, and to the child without a father, and to the widow, and do not put the upright to death in this place, or go after other gods, causing damage to yourselves:
7Then I will let you go on living in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers in the past and for ever.
