8Look, you are trusting in deceptive words to no benefit.

9Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known—

10Then you come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—so that you may do all these abominations.

11Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Even I myself, look, I have seen it, declares Yahweh.
