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 7:21-28
Obedience as opposed to mere sacrifice 7:21-28This seems to be a new message from the Lord. It is a good example of prophetic indictments of Israel’s sacrificial institutions (cf. Jeremiah 6:20; 1 Samuel 15:22; Psalms 51:16-17; Isaiah 1:4-15; Hosea 6:6; Amos 5:21-24; Micah 6:6-8). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:25
Ever since the Exodus, God had graciously arisen early to send His servants the prophets to urge the Israelites to follow Him (cf. Jeremiah 7:13). The anthropomorphic image of God getting up early in the morning stresses the priority He gave to instructing His people. 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 7:25
(25) Daily rising up.—Stress is laid on the continual succession of prophets as witnesses of the Truth from the beginning. The prophet was not tied to the actual letter of his statement, and the prominence given to Samuel, as the first who bore the name of prophet (1 Samuel 9:9), seems at first against him. On the other hand, the gift of prophecy (as seen in Numbers 11:25-29) was bestowed freely even during the wilderness wanderings, and the mention of prophets (Judges 4:4; Judges 6:8) and men... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:1-34
; Jeremiah 8:1-22; Jeremiah 9:1-26; Jeremiah 10:1-25; Jeremiah 26:1-24In the four chapters which we are now to consider we have what is plainly a finished whole. The only possible exception {Jeremiah 10:1-16} shall be considered in its place. The historical occasion of the introductory prophecy, {Jeremiah 7:1-15} and the immediate effect of its delivery, are recorded at length in the twenty-sixth chapter of the book, so that in this instance we are happily not left to the uncertainties of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:16-34
No hope for an idolatrous people (7:16-8:3)God now tells Jeremiah that it is useless for him to persist in praying for the safety of the Judeans. They have so given themselves to idolatrous practices that nothing can save them from God’s judgment. Throughout the cities and towns of Judah people worship foreign gods, but in the process they harm themselves (16-19). The harm will be much greater when God’s judgment falls on them (20).While openly worshipping heathen gods, the people also offer... read more
