Jeremiah 7:7

7 habitabo vobiscum in loco isto in terra quam dedi patribus vestris a saeculo usque in saeculum

Jeremiah 7:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:7

Then will I cause you to dwell in this place
In the land of Judea, and not suffer them to be carried captive, which they had been threatened with, and had reason to expect, should they continue in their sins, in their impenitence and vain confidence: in the land that I gave to your fathers;
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by promise; and to the Jewish fathers in the times of Joshua, by putting them in actual possession of it: for ever and ever:
for a great while; a long time, as Kimchi explains it; from the days of Abraham for ever, even all the days of the world, provided they and their children walked in the ways of the Lord. This clause may either be connected with the word "dwell", or with the word give; and the sense is, either that they should dwell in it for ever and ever; or it was given to their fathers for ever and ever.

Jeremiah 7:7 In-Context

5 quoniam si bene direxeritis vias vestras et studia vestra si feceritis iudicium inter virum et proximum eius

6 advenae et pupillo et viduae non feceritis calumniam nec sanguinem innocentem effuderitis in loco hoc et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis in malum vobismet ipsis

7 habitabo vobiscum in loco isto in terra quam dedi patribus vestris a saeculo usque in saeculum

8 ecce vos confiditis vobis in sermonibus mendacii qui non proderunt vobis

9 furari occidere adulterare iurare mendaciter libare Baali et ire post deos alienos quos ignoratis
