SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Jeremiah 7, the LORD calls the nation to repentance and warns them of coming judgment.
     In the Greek myth of Psyche a mortal woman is given immortality. She was similar in various ways to the gods and goddesses worshipped by the Hebrews, especially as being the wife of a god, as was The Queen of Heaven mentioned in verse 18, below.
     In today's chapter, the LORD tells Jeremiah to stand at the door of the Temple and tell the people to amend their ways and not trust in lying words; and he will cause them to dwell in this place (1-4).
      He demands that they practice judgment, quit oppressing others, stop shedding innocent blood, and cease idolatry (5-7).
     He chides them for believing lies, stealing, murdering, committing adultery, swearing falsely, burning incense to Baal and other false gods, assuming that the LORD delivered them to practice these things, and making his house a den or robbers (8-11).
     Against such notions, he tells them to go to Shiloh, their first center of worship of the LORD, and see what he did to that place for their wickedness; he will do the same, he says, to the Temple in Jerusalem and cast them out of his sight for their wickedness (12-15).
     Then he tells Jeremiah not to pray for this people for he will not hear him; he calls Jeremiah's attention to their worship of the Queen of Heaven (also mentioned in Jeremiah 44) and promises that his fury will fall upon man, beast, and land for these things (16-20).
     He tells the people to gather their burnt offerings and sacrifices and eat them themselves, because he will have none of them; when he first called them out of Egypt he called them to obey not to offer various sacrifices; but they did not listen to him or to the prophets he sent to them (21-26).
     He tells Jeremiah that they will not listen, nor obey, nor receive correction (27-28).
     He tells the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cut off their hair and lament because the LORD has rejected them for they are a "generation of wrath" (29).
      They have taken their idolatry into the LORD's temple and in the environs around the city; so they will be food for the birds; and mirth and gladness and the bridegroom and the bride will cease from the city because it will be desolate (30-34).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

c). The LORD's Third Word: Exile is Coming Because of Idolatry (7:1 - 10:25)


     1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there [this] this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. 3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. 4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
     5 For if ye throughly amend [amending you amend] [this] your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute [doing you shall do] judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever [from perpetuity] and ever [and unto perpetuity].
     8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot [that fail to] profit. 9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do [We are rescued in order to do] [this] all these abominations? 11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. 12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see [this] what I did to it for [from the face of] the wickedness of my people Israel. 13 And now, because ye have done [this] all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; 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. 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out [this] all your brethren, [this] even the whole seed of Ephraim.
     16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. 17 Seest thou not [nothing of] what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle [this] the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. 19 [This]: Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
     21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spake not unto [this] your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I bought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning [upon words of] burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23 But [this], this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined [this] their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you [this] all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined [this] their ear, but hardened [this] their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
     27 Therefore thou shalt speak [this] all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. 28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.




     30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. 31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn [this] their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. 32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no [nothing of] place. 33 And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. 34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
