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 my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

13 And now, because you have done all these things, says the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,

14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of E'phraim.

16 "As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I do not hear you.
