Jeremiah 7:12-15

Evil in the Land

¹² Go now to _x my place that was in Shiloh, _y where I made my name dwell at first, and _z see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, and _a when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and _b when I called you, you did not answer, ¹⁴ therefore I will do to _c the house _u that is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your fathers, _z as I did to Shiloh. ¹⁵ _c And I will cast you out of my sight, _d as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of _e Ephraim.
