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).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:8
"Behold, ye trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?
