Jeremiah 7:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 7:7

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.

9 ^aWill you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and ^bwalk after other gods whom you do not know,

10 ^aand then come and stand before Me in this house ^bwhich is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’?

11 Has ^athis house, which is called by My name, become a ^bden of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the Lord.

12 “But go now to ^aMy place which was in Shiloh, ^bwhere I set My name at the first, and see ^cwhat I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.

13 And now, because you have done all these works,” says the Lord, “and I spoke to you, ^arising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I ^bcalled you, but you did not answer,

14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to ^aShiloh.
