Jeremiah 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:14

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my
name
The temple, as in ( Jeremiah 7:11 ) , for though it was called by his name, and his name was called upon in it, yet this could not secure it from desolation; for so the name of the Lord was set in the tabernacle at Shiloh, and yet he forsook it through the wickedness of the people: wherein ye trust;
they trusted in the sacrifices there offered up, and the service there performed; in the holiness of the place, and because it was the residence of the divine Majesty; wherefore they thought this would be a protection and defence of them; and this was trusting in lying words, as in ( Jeremiah 7:4 ) : and unto the place which I gave unto you and your fathers;
meaning either Jerusalem; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and to the city"; or the whole land of Judea, as in ( Jeremiah 7:7 ) : as I have done to Shiloh; (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:12).

Jeremiah 7:14 In-Context

12 Just go to my sanctuary in Shiloh, where I let my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.

13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, because you haven't listened when I spoke to you again and again or responded when I called you,

14 I will do to this temple that bears my name and on which you rely, the place that I gave to you and your ancestors, just as I did to Shiloh.

15 I will cast you out of my sight, just as I cast out the rest of your family, all the people of Ephraim.

16 As for you, don't pray for these people, don't cry out or plead for them, and don't intercede with me, for I won't listen to you.
