Jeremia 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:3

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
The Lord of armies above and below in general, and the God of Israel in particular; wherefore they ought to hearken to what he was about to say, and to be obedient to him: amend your ways and your doings;
or, "make them good" F12; which shows that they were bad, and were not agreeable to the law and will of God, to which they ought to have been conformed; and the way to amend them was to act according to the rule of the divine word they were favoured with: and I will cause you to dwell in this place;
to continue to dwell in Jerusalem, and in Judea, the land of their nativity, and in the temple, the house of God, and place of religious worship; but, if not, it is suggested that they should not continue here, but be carried captive into a strange land.

Jeremia 7:3 In-Context

1 Das Wort, welches von seiten Jehovas zu Jeremia geschah, also:
2 Stelle dich in das Tor des Hauses Jehovas, und rufe daselbst dieses Wort aus und sprich: Höret das Wort Jehovas, ganz Juda, die ihr durch diese Tore eingehet, um Jehova anzubeten.
3 So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen, der Gott Israels: Machet gut eure Wege und eure Handlungen, so will ich euch an diesem Orte wohnen lassen.
4 Und verlasset euch nicht auf Worte der Lüge, indem man spricht: Der Tempel Jehovas, der Tempel Jehovas, der Tempel Jehovas ist dies!
5 Sondern wenn ihr eure Wege und eure Handlungen wirklich gut machet, wenn ihr wirklich Recht übet zwischen dem einen und dem anderen,
