“If you truly amend your ways,
If you truly amend your doings,
If you truly execute justice,
One with another,
If you do not oppress the alien,
If you do not oppress the orphan,
If you do not oppress the widow,
If you do not shed innocent blood
In this place,
If you do not go after other gods
To your own hurt,
Then I will dwell
With you
In this place,
In the land that I gave of old
To your ancestors forever.”
Yahweh, via Jeremiah, says that he will dwell with them if they amend their ways. This was very conditional. It depended on them being just with one another. They were not to oppress the aliens, the orphans, and the widows. They were not to shed innocent blood. They were not to go after others gods. If they did all this, Yahweh would remain with them forever in this land that he gave to their ancestors.
