8Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:


In Context

5 For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,

6 If you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,

7 I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.

8 Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:

9 To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.

10 And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done all these abominations.
