Jeremiah 7:6 in Context — Jeremiah 7

4 No fiéis en palabras de mentira, diciendo: Templo de Jehová, templo de Jehová, templo de Jehová es éste.

5 Mas si mejorareis cumplidamente vuestros caminos y vuestras obras; si con exactitud hiciereis derecho entre el hombre y su prójimo,

6 Ni oprimiereis al peregrino, al huérfano, y á la viuda, ni en este lugar derramareis la sangre inocente, ni anduviereis en pos de dioses ajenos para mal vuestro;

7 Os haré morar en este lugar, en la tierra que dí á vuestros padres para siempre.

8 He aquí vosotros os confiáis en palabras de mentira, que no aprovechan.
