Jeremiah 7:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:30

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith
the Lord
Meaning not a single action only, but a series, a course of evil actions; and those openly, in a daring manner, not only before men, but in the sight of God, and in contempt of him, like the men of Sodom, ( Genesis 13:13 ) : they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my
name, to defile it;
that is, set their idols in the temple; here Manasseh set up a graven image of the grove, ( 2 Kings 21:7 ) which was done, as if it was done on purpose to defile it.

Jeremiah 7:30 In-Context

28 Therefore, say to them: This nation neither obeys the LORD its God nor accepts correction; truth has disappeared; it has vanished from their lips.

29 Cut off your hair and cast it away; grieve on the well-traveled paths. The LORD has rejected you and has cast off a generation that provokes his anger.

30 The people of Judah have done what displeases me, declares the LORD. They have corrupted the temple that bears my name by setting up their disgusting idols.

31 They have built shrines at Topheth in the Ben-hinnom Valley to burn their sons and daughters in the fire, although I never commanded such a thing, nor did it ever cross my mind.

32 So now the time is coming, declares the LORD, when people will no longer speak of Topheth or the Ben-hinnom Valley, but the Carnage Valley. They will bury in Topheth until no space is left.
