He said to them, *It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers!*
Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forevermore.
even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says the LORD.
They said to him, *In Beit-Lechem of Yehudah, for thus it is written through the prophet,
He taught, saying to them, *Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers!*
He entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
saying to them, *It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!*
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their Torah, 'They hated me without a cause.'
