エレミヤ書 7:11 JC

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:11

Robbers - literally, tearers, those who rob with violence. The temple was the place which sheltered them. It had been consecrated to God. Now that it harbors miscreants, must it not as inevitably be destroyed as a den of robbers would be by any righteous ruler? read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 7:8-11

Jeremiah 7:8-11. Behold, ye trust in lying words Uttered by your false prophets, who promise you peace, and sooth you up in your impenitence. Will ye steal, murder, &c. Jeremiah does not charge them with the transgression of the ritual law of Moses, but with the breach of the weightier matters of the moral law. Thus the prophets showed the Jews a more excellent way of serving God than by relying upon external ceremonies of their worship, which might have prepared their minds for the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-15

7:1-20:18 THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF JUDAHJeremiah at the temple (7:1-15)This message seems to belong to the period of religious decline that followed the death of Josiah. Though Josiah had done well to restore the temple, the people developed a wrong, even superstitious, attitude towards it. They felt that it was sacred, that it belonged to God, and that therefore he would not allow any enemy to destroy it. They thought that the presence of the temple in Jerusalem guaranteed the city against... read more

11. den of robbers—Do you regard My temple as being what robbers make their den, namely, an asylum wherein ye may obtain impunity for your abominations ( :-)? seen it—namely, that ye treat My house as if it were a den of thieves.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:1-15

Jeremiah’s Temple Sermon 7:1-15This message demonstrates a structure that is quite typical of many others in the Book of Jeremiah (cf. Jeremiah 11:1-17; Jeremiah 17:19-27; Jeremiah 34:8-22). First there is an explanation of Yahweh’s will (word, law; Jeremiah 7:1-7), then a description of Israel’s departure from it (Jeremiah 7:8-12), and then an announcement of divine judgment (Jeremiah 7:13-15). A similar message, or the same message in abbreviated form, appears later in the book (Jeremiah... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:1-25

Aspects of false religion 7:1-8:3All the messages in this section deal with departure from the Lord in religious practices, either in pagan rites or in the perversion of the proper worship of Yahweh that the Mosaic Law specified. All the material in this section fits conditions in Judah after 609 B.C., when Jehoiakim began allowing a return to pagan practices after the end of Josiah’s reforms. Another feature of this section is the large amount of prose material it contains, much more than the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:11

By treating the temple in this way, the people had turned it into "a den of robbers," a gathering place for those who stole from others and God, and violated God’s Word with impunity (cf. Matthew 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46)."They have profaned God’s house by making it a place of retreat between acts of crime . . ." [Note: Harrison, Jeremiah and . . ., p. 86.] The Lord assured the people that He had seen what they were doing; they had not deceived Him. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-25

Jeremiah’s Fifth Prophecy (or Group of Prophecies). Address at the Temple Gate (Reign of Josiah or Beginning of that of Jehoiakim)The prophet takes advantage of a solemn gathering of the people at Jerusalem to stand at one of the Temple gates as they pass in, and warns them against their superstitious confidence that the possession of the Temple was itself a charm against danger from without. As immorality had already brought about the overthrow of an older sanctuary (Shiloh) as well as of the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-34

1-20. Ceremonies and sacred places shall be no defence.4. God, said the false prophets, will never allow His Temple to be overthrown: cp. Micah 3:11.The temple, etc.] The threefold repetition suggests ’the energy of iteration that only belongs to Eastern fanatics’ (Stanley, ’Jewish Church,’ ii, 438).5-7. Their tenure of the Temple is conditional on obedience to the covenant made by God with their fathers. 10. We are delivered] By the discharge of this formality we are set free for a return to... read more
