The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-7

Preaching repentance. I. THE OCCASION . It was in the gate of the temple, where the crowd of worshippers would pass, and at the time of their going up to worship. 1. In a public place , 2. At the entrance to the place of worship , because II. THE ACCUSATION . The Jews are not accused of Church sins, neglecting religious ordinances, etc. Their sins were against common morality. 1. Though men may be very observant of religious ordinances they may yet be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-14

The doom of the temple. I. THE MESSAGE TO THOSE CONCERNED CANNOT BE ESCAPED . The message is to men who make their boast and confidence in the temple. To be within temple reach seems to place them in a kind of fortress. Such must evidently be met on their own ground. And thus the prophet is sent to the temple gate. There, assuredly, all who took any deep interest in the temple would be found. Jeremiah himself belonged to the priests, and there is no saying but what, prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34

The relations of righteousness and religion. This chapter, as indeed so much other of Jeremiah's prophecies, teaches not a little Concerning this great theme. In this chapter we note how it shows— I. THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE PRINCIPAL THING . 1. It is God's solemn demand (verse 2). 2. It is God's perpetual demand. See the whole chapter, the whole prophecy. "Amend your ways and your doings" (verse 3) is its constant appeal. 3. At first it was his only... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:4-7

Who shall dwell in the house of the Lord? I. AN UNWARRANTABLE ASSUMPTION . They arrogate to themselves, not only the exclusive possession of a meeting-place between God and man, but they speak of themselves as in a special and peculiar sense the temple of God. 1. There is an argument latent here. The temple is looked upon as a permanent and immovable building—a place of intercourse between Jehovah and his people. It is the only place of the kind, and it will stand for aye. But... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:5

If ye thoroughly amend , etc.; a development of the ides of Jeremiah 7:3 . The true palladium of Judah would be the faithful performance of Jehovah's moral laws, especially those referring to the conduct of the rulers. Observe the stress which all the prophets lay on the virtues of civil life. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:5-16

Strange church-goers. I. LOOK AT THEM AS JEREMIAH SAW THEM . Thieves ( Jeremiah 7:6 , Jeremiah 7:9 ), most cruel oppressors, murderers, adulterers, etc. Yet they were all going into the temple to worship the Lord. Strange church-goers indeed. II. ASK IF THERE BE ANY SUCH NOW ? What if some angel of God, unseen by us, were to mark on the foreheads of all who enter our churches now their true characters in the sight of God: would there be no fraudulent,... read more

The stranger, the fatherless, and the widow ; specially commended to the care of the Israelites ( Exodus 22:21 , Exodus 22:22 —a passage belonging to one of the most evidently primitive portions of the Pentateuch; Deuteronomy 24:17 , Deuteronomy 24:19 , Deuteronomy 24:21 ; Deuteronomy 27:19 ; comp.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:7

Forever and ever . It is doubtful, both here and in Jeremiah 25:5 , whether these words should be joined to "gave" or "cause you to dwell." Still, the latter connection is both in itself the more probable one, and that suggested first of all by the accentuation. It was not the extent of the original premise, but that of the enjoyment of the gift, which was in question. A more exact rendering of the prophet's formula is that of the Septuagint ἐξ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος : i . e .... read more
