Jeremías 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:10

And come and stand before me in this house
In the temple; this they did after they had been guilty of such immoralities and idolatry; thinking by their appearance there, and their performance of a few ceremonies, and offering of some sacrifices, that all were atoned for: or this denotes their impudence, that, after the commission of such notorious crimes, they should have the front to come into the house of God, and stand before him, as if they had never departed from him, and were his people, and the true worshippers of him: which is called by my name;
the temple of God, the house of God, the sanctuary of the Lord; and where his name was also called upon, being a house of prayer; or where prayer was made to the Lord: and say, we are delivered;
from the punishment of the above sins, by coming into the temple, and standing before the Lord in it; by calling on his name, and offering sacrifices, though with impure hearts and hands, and in a hypocritical way to do all these abominations;
before mentioned; theft, murder, adultery, perjury, and idolatry. The sense is, either we are delivered and freed from punishment, that we may do these things with impunity; this is the use we make of, and the inference we draw from, our deliverance from evil: or we are delivered, though we commit these abominations, and therefore in them: or, seeing we are delivered, therefore do we these things; not that they really said these words, but this was the language of their actions. The Syriac version is, "deliver us, while we commit all these sins".

Jeremías 7:10 In-Context

8 He aquí, vosotros os confiáis en palabras de mentira, que no aprovechan

9 ¿Por ventura hurtando, cometiendo homicidio, y adulterando, y jurando en falso, e incensando a Baal, y andando tras dioses extraños que no conocisteis

10 vendréis y os pondréis delante de mí en esta Casa sobre la cual es llamado mi nombre, y diréis: Libres somos para hacer todas estas abominaciones

11 ¿Es por ventura cueva de ladrones delante de vuestros ojos esta Casa, sobre la cual es llamado mi nombre? He aquí que también yo veo, dijo el SEÑOR

12 Andad pues ahora a mi lugar que fue en Silo, donde hice que morara mi nombre al principio, y ved lo que le hice por la maldad de mi pueblo Israel
