Jeremiah 26:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:6

Then will I make this house like Shiloh
Where the ark was until it was taken by the Philistines; and then the Lord forsook his tabernacle there, ( Psalms 78:60 ) ; and so he threatens to do the like to the temple at Jerusalem, should they continue in their disobedience to him; (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:12) and (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:14); and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth;
that is, the city of Jerusalem, which should be taken up, and used proverbially in all countries; who, when they would curse anyone, should say, the Lord make thee as Jerusalem, or do unto thee as he has done to Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 26:6 In-Context

4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD said: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 to hearken to the words of my slaves the prophets, whom I send unto you, rising up early and sending them, unto whom ye have not hearkened,

6 then I will make this house like Shiloh and will give this city as a curse to all the Gentiles of the earth.

7 And the priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
