耶利米書 7:8-10 RCUVTS

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 7:5-16

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

Will ye steal , etc.? rather, What I stealing , murdering , etc . ? The construction is formed by a series of infinitives, preceded by an interrogative expressing extreme surprise, equivalent to "Is this your way of life—a course of theft, and so forth?" read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:9-11

Sacrilege. I. WHAT DO WE GENERALLY UNDERSTAND BY THIS WORD ? 1. Some use it of disregard of ritual. 2. Others of secular employment of sacred places or things. 3. Others of those persons whom they regard as unauthorized presuming to minister in holy things. 4. Others of robbing churches, etc. But without discussing these, let us note— II. WHAT GOD COUNTS AS SACRILEGE . It is declared here ( Jeremiah 7:11 ). It is when men turn the Church of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 7:10

And come , etc.; rather, and then ye come , etc. We are delivered to do , etc.; rather, we have escaped , in order to do , etc. To make the concluding words of the verse a part of the speech seems hardly fair to the Jews, who would certainly not proclaim that they had made their escape from the threatened judgment with the object of prosecuting abominable acts. Such a view, moreover, greatly weakens the force of the emphatic "We have escaped." "In order to do," etc; are the words... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 7:10

We are delivered - Jeremiah accuses them of trusting in the ceremonial of the temple instead of leading holy lives. “You break,” he says, “the Ten Commandments, and then you go to the Temple; and when the service is over you say, We are delivered. We have atoned for our past actions, and may start afresh with easy minds upon a new course of wickedness.” 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
