ows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the
founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.

6:30. Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.

Jeremias Chapter 7

The temple of God shall not protect a sinful people, without a sincere
conversion. The Lord will not receive the prayers of the prophet for
them: because they are obstinate in their sins.

7:1. The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:

7:2. Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this
word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that
enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.

7:3. Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and

Lord.

7:12. Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning:

7:14. I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in

7:15. And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away
all your brethren, the
