Jeremiah 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 7:8

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.

Jeremiah 7:8-10

The people believed they were safe as long as they were in the church. They believed that somehow or another their attendance at services gave them absolution from having to pay for things they had done, and maybe for the things that they were planning to do in the future. This is dangerous thinking that amounts to nothing more than superstition. In the midst of their gross wickedness they were so naïve as to believe that they would be delivered from impending destruction and disaster merely by going through the motions of attending church.
