Jeremiah 7:12

Jeremiah 7:12

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.

15 And I will cast you out of My sight, ^aas I have cast out all your brethren—^bthe whole posterity of Ephraim.

16 “Therefore ^ado not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; ^bfor I will not hear you.

17 Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

Jeremiah 7:13 >>

my place . . . in Shiloh—God caused His tabernacle to be set up in Shiloh in Joshua's days (Joshua 18:1; Judges 18:31). In Eli's time God gave the ark, which had been at Shiloh, into the hands of the Philistines (Jeremiah 26:6; I Samuel 4:10-11; Psalms 78:56-61). Shiloh was situated between Beth-el and Shechem in Ephraim.

at the first—implying that Shiloh exceeded the Jewish temple in antiquity. But God's favor is not tied down to localities (Acts 7:44).

my people Israel—Israel was God's people, yet He spared it not when rebellious: neither will He spare Judah, now that it rebels, though heretofore it has been His people.
