Context of Jeremiah 7:14

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. 13Now, because you have done all these things — this is the Lord’s declaration — and because I have spoken to you time and time again but you wouldn’t listen, and I have called to you, but you wouldn’t answer, what I did to Shiloh I will do to the house that bears my name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave you and your ancestors. 15I will banish you from my presence, just as I banished all of your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.’ 16“As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not offer a cry or a prayer on their behalf, and do not beg me, for I will not listen to you.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 7:14

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-15The people of the northern kingdom had acted like Judah was acting now. God sent many prophets to speak to them (2 Kings 17:22–23; 2 Chronicles 36:15–16), but they did not listen or respond. The Lord spared Jerusalem and the Temple when the Assyrians exiled the northern tribes in 722 BC. This time, the Temple would be destroyed.Read the comment
