Jeremias 7:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:8

Behold, ye trust in lying words
What they are dissuaded from, ( Jeremiah 7:4 ) , is here affirmed they did, and which is introduced with a note of asseveration, attention, and admiration; it being a certain thing that they did so; and was what was worthy of their consideration and serious reflection upon; and it was astonishing that they should, since so to do was of no advantage to them, but the contrary: that cannot profit;
temple worship and service, legal sacrifices and ceremonies, could not take away sin, and expiate the guilt of it; or justify men, and render them acceptable to God; these, without faith in the blood and sacrifice of Christ, were of no avail; and especially could never be thought to be of any use and profit, when such gross abominations were indulged by them as are next mentioned.

Jeremias 7:8 In-Context

6 se não oprimirem o estrangeiro, o órfão e a viúva e não derramarem sangue inocente neste lugar, e, se vocês não seguirem outros deuses para a sua própria ruína,
7 então eu os farei habitar neste lugar, na terra que dei aos seus antepassados desde a antiguidade e para sempre.
8 Mas vejam! Vocês confiam em palavras enganosas e inúteis.
9 “Vocês pensam que podem roubar e matar, cometer adultério e jurar falsamente, queimar incenso a Baal e seguir outros deuses que vocês não conheceram,
10 e depois vir e permanecer perante mim neste templo, que leva o meu nome, e dizer: ‘Estamos seguros!’, seguros para continuar com todas essas práticas repugnantes?
