Jeremiah 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:5

For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings
Or, "if ye make your ways good, and do your works well", which is what is exhorted to ( Jeremiah 7:3 ) , and respects the duties of the moral law; which are more acceptable to God than legal sacrifices, when done from right principles, and with right views, from love, in faith, and to the glory of God; which is doing good works well; the particulars of which follow: if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
without respect to persons, without favour and affection, without bribery and corruption; passing a righteous sentence, and making an equitable decision of the case between them, according to the law of God, and the rules of justice and equity: this respects judges and civil magistrates.

Jeremiah 7:5 In-Context

3 This is what the LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, says: Improve your conduct and your actions, and I will dwell with you in this place.

4 Don't trust in lies: "This is the LORD's temple! The LORD's temple! The LORD's temple!"

5 No, if you truly reform your ways and your actions; if you treat each other justly;

6 if you stop taking advantage of the immigrant, orphan, or widow; if you don't shed the blood of the innocent in this place, or go after other gods to your own ruin,

7 only then will I dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave long ago to your ancestors for all time.
