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 You shall tell them, This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

29 Cut off your hair, [Yerushalayim], and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

30 For the children of Yehudah have done that which is evil in my sight, says the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

31 They have built the high places of Tofet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I didn't command, neither came it into my mind.

32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tofet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Tofet, until there be no place [to bury].
