Jeremias 7:9

9 Furtareis vós, e matareis, e cometereis adultério, e jurareis falsamente, e queimareis incenso a Baal, e andareis após outros deuses que não conhecestes,

Jeremias 7:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:9

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely,
&c.] At the same time they offered sacrifices, and trusted in them, they did those things, which would not be grateful to the Lord, nor profitable to them; or, "ye do steal"; so the Septuagint, and all the Oriental versions; and likewise the Targum; as charging them with them; these are sins against the second table of the law, as what follow are against the first: and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
for they not only burnt incense to Baal, which was an act of idolatrous worship; but served other strange gods they had not known before; whose names they had never heard of, and of whose help and assistance they now had no experience, nor received any benefit from, as they had on the one and only true God; and therefore it was great folly and ingratitude in them to forsake the Lord, and walk after these.

Jeremias 7:9 In-Context

7 então eu vos farei habitar neste lugar, na terra que dei a vossos pais desde os tempos antigos e para sempre.

8 Eis que vós confiais em palavras falsas, que para nada são proveitosas.

9 Furtareis vós, e matareis, e cometereis adultério, e jurareis falsamente, e queimareis incenso a Baal, e andareis após outros deuses que não conhecestes,

10 e então vireis, e vos apresentareis diante de mim nesta casa, que se chama pelo meu nome, e direis: Somos livres para praticardes ainda todas essas abominações?

11 Tornou-se, pois, esta casa, que se chama pelo meu nome, uma caverna de salteadores aos vossos olhos? Eis que eu, eu mesmo, vi isso, diz o Senhor.
