⁴Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
⁵For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
⁶If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
⁷Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

¹³And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
¹⁴Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
¹⁵And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
¹⁶Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
¹⁷Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
¹⁸The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
¹⁹Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
²⁰Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

³¹Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

³³For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
³⁴Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
³⁵And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
³⁶But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
³⁷All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
³⁸For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
³⁹And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
