Context of Jeremiah 7:12

10then 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. “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. 13And now, because you have done all these things,” declares the Lord, “and I spoke to you, speaking again and again, but you did not listen, and I called you but you did not answer, 14therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your fathers, just as I did to Shiloh.
