Jeremiah 7:14

Jer 7:14 Therefore will I do unto [this] house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

Ver. 14. Therefore will I do unto this house.] Which ye fondly think that I am bound to hold and uphold. The disciples also seem to have had a conceit that the temple and the world must needs end together; hence that mixed discourse of our Saviour - now of one, and now of another. {Mat 24:2 Jer 7:3} {See Trapp on "Jer 7:3"}

I gave--and I therefore can revoke the gift for it is still Mine (Lev 25:23), now that ye fail in the only object for which it was given, the promotion of My glory.

Shiloh--as I ceased to dwell there, transferring My temple to Jerusalem; so I will cease to dwell at Jerusalem.

Therefore, he says, I will do to this house, which is called by my name, etc. He anticipates, no doubt, all objections, as though he had said, “I know what you will say, — that this place is sacred to God, that his name is invoked here, and that sacrifices are here offered: all these things, he says, are alleged to no purpose, for in Shiloh also was his name invoked, and he dwelt there. Though then ye foolishly trust in this place, it shall not yet escape that judgment which happened to the former place.” He adds, which I gave to you and to your fathers Be it so; for this is to be considered as a concession; and at the same time objections are anticipated, in order that the Jews might understand that it availed them nothing, that God had chosen to build his sanctuary on Mount Sion; for the object was to promote religion. But as the place was converted to a wholly different purpose, and as God’s name was there shamefully profaned, he says, “Though I gave this place to you and your fathers, yet nothing better shall be its fate than the fate of Shiloh.” It follows —

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name,.... The temple, as in Jer 7:11, for though it was called by his name, and his name was called upon in it, yet this could not secure it from desolation; for so the name of the Lord was set in the tabernacle at Shiloh, and yet he forsook it through the wickedness of the people:

wherein ye trust; they trusted in the sacrifices there offered up, and the service there performed; in the holiness of the place, and because it was the residence of the divine Majesty; wherefore they thought this would be a protection and defence of them; and this was trusting in lying words, as in Jer 7:4,

and unto the place which I gave unto you and your fathers; meaning either Jerusalem; and so the Syriac version renders it, "and to the city"; or the whole land of Judea, as in Jer 7:7,

as I have done to Shiloh; See Gill on Jer 7:12.

Therefore, because they have added this their obstinate refusing of all admonitions to the rest of their provocations,

will I do unto this house, viz. cause the consecrated things of the temple to be taken away by the hand of the Babylonians. The place, see Jer 7:7, which I gave to you, viz. upon condition of your obedience, Psa 105:44,45, and therefore may justly, upon the breach of the condition, take from you again, nay, by virtue of my sovereignty, Job 1:21.

Shiloh: see Jer 7:12.

14. Will I do unto this house — It was after this passage, as we learn from the twenty-sixth chapter, that the priests, the prophets, and the people took Jeremiah and said, “Thou shalt surely die.” But the man of God, strong in his consciousness of being joined to Jehovah, spoke such clear, bold words in his own vindication that they could not compass his ruin. History furnishes few examples of courage so intrepid and words so forceful as those of this weeping prophet on this occasion.
