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 to them, Thus saith the LORD, 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 servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened;

6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 So the priests and 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 to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
