Context of Jeremiah 7:10
8“Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail. 9Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, offer sacrifices to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known, then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are saved!’--so that you may do all these abominations? 11Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I Myself have seen it,” declares the Lord. 12“But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at the beginning, and see what I did to it because of 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

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

"Will ye steal ... and then come and stand before Me?" whom ye know not--Ye have no grounds of "knowing" that they are gods; but I have manifested My Godhead by My law, by benefits conferred, and by miracles.
