Jeremiah 7:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ So I will destroy the ·place [^Lhouse] ·where I have chosen to be worshiped in Jerusalem [which is called by my name]. You ·trust [have confidence] in that place, which I gave to you and your ·ancestors [fathers], but I will destroy it just as I destroyed Shiloh [1 Sam. 4:1–22; Ps. 78:60–64]. ¹⁵ I will ·push you [throw you] away from me just as I ·pushed [threw] away your ·relatives [^Lbrothers], the people of Israel [^Lall the seed of Ephraim; ^Cthe dominant tribe of the northern kingdom of Israel, exiled by the Assyrians in 722 bc]!’

¹⁶ “As for you [^CJeremiah], don’t pray for these people. Don’t cry out for them or ask anything for them or ·beg me to help them [intercede with me], because I will not listen to you.
