Yirmeyah 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.

Yirmeyah 26:6 In-Context

4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Hashem: If ye will not pay heed to Me, to walk in My torah, which I have set before you,
5 To pay heed to the Devarim of My Avadim the Nevi’im, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early and sending them, but ye have not paid heed;
6 Then will I make this Bais like Shiloh, and will make this city a kelalah (curse) to all the Goyim of Ha’Aretz.
7 So the kohanim and the nevi’im and kol HaAm heard Yirmeyah speaking these Devarim in the Bais Hashem.
8 Now it came to pass, when Yirmeyah had made an end of speaking all that Hashem had commanded him to speak unto kol HaAm, that the kohanim and the nevi’im and kol HaAm laid hold of him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
