  • Heb 7:11-19 : 11 If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for in the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. 18 For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness. 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.
  • Heb 8:6-9 : 6 But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no occasion sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says, Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more. 13 In that He says, A new covenant, He has made the first old. Now that which decays and grows old is ready to vanish away.
  • Heb 9:9-9 : 9 Which was a symbol for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience; 10 Concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ came as a high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
  • Heb 10:1-9 : 1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the actual form of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, Behold, I have come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God. 8 Previously saying, Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin you did not desire, nor had pleasure in them (which are offered according to the law), 9 Then he said, Behold, I have come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first that he may establish the second. 10 By that will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; 13 From that time onward waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us; for after he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them, 17 And their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more. 18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
  • Heb 12:26-28 : 26 Whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." 27 And this phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight. 5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD rendering recompense to his enemies.

  • Jer 7:4-9 : 4 Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor; 6 If you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your harm; 7 Then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever. 8 Behold, you trust in deceptive words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD. 12 But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not listen; and I called you, but you did not answer; 14 Therefore I will do unto this house, which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

And all the people gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
