New King James Version (NKJV)
Jeremiah 6
25 Do not go out into the field, Nor walk by the way. Because of the sword of the enemy, Fear is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
27 "I have set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people, That you may know and test their way.
28 They are all stubborn rebels, walking as slanderers. They are bronze and iron, They are all corrupters;
29 The bellows blow fiercely, The lead is consumed by the fire; The smelter refines in vain, For the wicked are not drawn off.
30 People will call them rejected silver, Because the Lord has rejected them."
Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 "Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ’Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the Lord!’ "
3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ’The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these.’
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
