Jeremiah 7:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 7:3

Trusting in Lying Words

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 ^a“Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the Lord!’ ”

3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^a“Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

4 ^aDo not trust in these lying 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 doings, if you thoroughly ^aexecute judgment between a man and his neighbor,

6 if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, ^aor walk after other gods to your hurt,

7 ^athen I will cause you to dwell in this place, in ^bthe land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

8 “Behold, you trust in ^alying words that cannot profit.
