In context

5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

6 if you don’t oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and don’t shed innocent blood in this place, and don’t walk after other gods to your own hurt,

7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forever more.

8 Behold, you trust in lying words that can’t profit.

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

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

11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it,” says the LORD.
