Jeremiah 7:30

30 quia fecerunt filii Iuda malum in oculis meis dicit Dominus posuerunt offendicula sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum ut polluerent eam

Jeremiah 7:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:30

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith
the Lord
Meaning not a single action only, but a series, a course of evil actions; and those openly, in a daring manner, not only before men, but in the sight of God, and in contempt of him, like the men of Sodom, ( Genesis 13:13 ) : they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my
name, to defile it;
that is, set their idols in the temple; here Manasseh set up a graven image of the grove, ( 2 Kings 21:7 ) which was done, as if it was done on purpose to defile it.

Jeremiah 7:30 In-Context

28 et dices ad eos haec est gens quae non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui nec recepit disciplinam periit fides et ablata est de ore eorum

29 tonde capillum tuum et proice et sume in directum planctum quia proiecit Dominus et reliquit generationem furoris sui

30 quia fecerunt filii Iuda malum in oculis meis dicit Dominus posuerunt offendicula sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum ut polluerent eam

31 et aedificaverunt excelsa Thofeth qui est in valle filii Ennom ut incenderent filios suos et filias suas igni quae non praecepi nec cogitavi in corde meo

32 ideo ecce dies venient dicit Dominus et non dicetur amplius Thofeth et vallis filii Ennom sed vallis Interfectionis et sepelient in Thofeth eo quod non sit locus
