Context of Jeremiah 7:14

12“Go to Shiloh, and see what I did there. It was the first place that I chose where people would worship me. But I destroyed it because of the wicked things that my people, the Israelites, did. 13You have done the same wicked things. I have warned you many times, but you have not listened to me. I called out to you, but you refused to answer.” That is what the Lord says. “So now I will destroy this temple that I chose to be my home. I gave this temple to you and to your ancestors. You think that it will keep you safe. But I will destroy it, as I destroyed Shiloh. 15I will send you far away from me. I already did that to the other Israelites, the people of Ephraim's tribe.” 16Jeremiah, you must not pray for this people. Do not ask me to help them. If you ask me to save them, I will not listen to you.
