Jeremiah 7:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:14

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my
name
The temple, as in ( Jeremiah 7:11 ) , for though it was called by his name, and his name was called upon in it, yet this could not secure it from desolation; for so the name of the Lord was set in the tabernacle at Shiloh, and yet he forsook it through the wickedness of the people: wherein ye trust;
they trusted in the sacrifices there offered up, and the service there performed; in the holiness of the place, and because it was the residence of the divine Majesty; wherefore they thought this would be a protection and defence of them; and this was trusting in lying words, as in ( Jeremiah 7:4 ) : and unto the place which I gave unto you and your fathers;
meaning either Jerusalem; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and to the city"; or the whole land of Judea, as in ( Jeremiah 7:7 ) : as I have done to Shiloh; (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:12).

Jeremiah 7:14 In-Context

12 “ ‘Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.

13 While you were doing all these things, declares the LORD, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer.

14 Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors.

15 I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’

16 “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.
