Jeremiah 7:6 in Context — Jeremiah 7

4 Ne vous livrez pas à des espérances trompeuses, en disant: C’est ici le temple de l’Éternel, le temple de l’Éternel, Le temple de l’Éternel!

5 Si vous réformez vos voies et vos œuvres, Si vous pratiquez la justice envers les uns et les autres,

6 Si vous n’opprimez pas l’étranger, l’orphelin et la veuve, Si vous ne répandez pas en ce lieu le sang innocent, Et si vous n’allez pas après d’autres dieux, pour votre malheur,

7 Alors je vous laisserai demeurer dans ce lieu, Dans le pays que j’ai donné à vos pères, D’éternité en éternité.

8 Mais voici, vous vous livrez à des espérances trompeuses, Qui ne servent à rien.
