Context of Jeremiah 7:10
8But look, you keep trusting in deceitful words that cannot help. 9“‘Do you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known? Then do you come and stand before me in this house that bears my name and say, “We are rescued, so we can continue doing all these detestable acts”? 11Has this house, which bears my name, become a den of robbers in your view? Yes, I too have seen it. This is the Lord’s declaration. 12“‘But return to my place that was at Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first. See what I did to it because of the evil 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

It depended on following the terms of his covenant. Their actions broke that relationship and disrespected the Lord's holy character.Read the comment
