Context of Jeremiah 7:14

12“ ‘Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel. 13While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer. Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. 15I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’ 16“So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.

• 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
