Context of Jeremiah 7:10
8Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known, and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations? 11Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah. 12But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 7:10
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10We are delivered - Jeremiah accuses them of trusting in the ceremonial of the temple instead of leading holy lives. “You break,” he says, “the Ten Commandments, and then you go to the Temple; and when the service is over you say, We are delivered. We have atoned for our past actions, and may start afresh with easy minds upon a new course of wickedness.”Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 8-10steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury: The people's actions broke most of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3–7, 13–17). burn incense...follow: Israel's relationship with God did not rely on any magical or ritual connection. It depended on following the terms of his covenant. Their actions broke that relationship and disrespected the Lord's holy character.Read the comment
