(10) and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'--only to go on doing all these abominations?

I ( יהוה ) have seen what you are doing.

8 "Here you are putting your trust in fallacious words-it will certainly be of no benefit at all. 9 Can there be stealing, murdering and committing adultery and swearing falsely and making sacrificial smoke to Baal and walking after other gods whom you had not known, 10 and must you come and stand before me in this house upon which my name has been called, and must you say, 'We shall certainly be delivered,' in the face of doing all these detestable things? 11 Has this house upon which my name has been called become a mere cave of robbers in your eyes? Here I myself also have seen [it]," is the utterance of Jehovah.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
