They engage in sinful behavior and then come to the temple, believing that their presence there absolves them of wrongdoing. The temple, located in Jerusalem, was the central place of worship and sacrifice, symbolizing God's presence among His people. This reflects a misunderstanding of the temple's purpose, which was not merely a ritualistic place but a symbol of a covenant relationship with God. The act of standing before God in the temple was meant to be an act of reverence and repentance, not a superficial ritual.which bears My Name, The temple bearing God's Name signifies His ownership and presence. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name represented character and authority. The temple was not just a building; it was a place where God's glory dwelled. This phrase underscores the seriousness of defiling a place that is consecrated to God. The misuse of the temple for false security is a direct affront to God's holiness and His covenant with Israel.and say, ‘We are delivered, The people falsely claim deliverance, believing that their mere association with the temple guarantees their safety and favor with God. This reflects a misunderstanding of God's covenant, which required obedience and faithfulness, not just ritualistic observance. The false assurance of deliverance without true repentance is a recurring theme in the prophetic books, where God warns against complacency and presumption.so we can continue with all these abominations’? The term "abominations" refers to the idolatrous and immoral practices that the people engaged in, which were detestable to God. This phrase highlights the people's blatant disregard for God's commandments, as they believe they can continue in sin without consequence. The prophets frequently condemned such behavior, emphasizing that true worship of God requires a heart turned away from sin. This reflects the broader biblical theme that genuine faith is evidenced by obedience and transformation, not just external rituals.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and judgment to the people of Judah.

The people tried to combine the worship of Baal and Jehovah, and passed from the one temple to the other. They went away from the fast or feast in the house of the Lord with the feeling that they were "saved," or "delivered." They had gone through their religious duties, and might claim their reward. The prophet seems to repeat their words in a tone of irony, They were "delivered," not from their abominations, but as if set free to do them.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/7.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - And come, etc.; rather, and then ye come, etc. We are delivered to do, etc.; rather, we have escaped, in order to do, etc. To make the concluding words of the verse a part of the speech seems hardly fair to the Jews, who would certainly not proclaim that they had made their escape from the threatened judgment with the object of prosecuting abominable acts. Such a view, moreover, greatly weakens the force of the emphatic "We have escaped." "In order to do," etc., are the words of the prophet, who thus lays bare the secret intentions of these formal worshippers. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and then come וּבָאתֶ֞ם (ū·ḇā·ṯem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go and stand וַעֲמַדְתֶּ֣ם (wa·‘ă·maḏ·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5975.htm">Strong's 5975: </a> To stand, in various relations before Me לְפָנַ֗י (lə·p̄ā·nay) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6440.htm">Strong's 6440: </a> The face in this הַזֶּה֙ (haz·zeh) Article | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that house, בַּבַּ֤יִת (bab·ba·yiṯ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house which bears נִקְרָא־ (niq·rā-) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> To call, proclaim, read My name, שְׁמִ֣י (šə·mî) Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name and say, וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם (wa·’ă·mar·tem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say “We are delivered, נִצַּ֑לְנוּ (niṣ·ṣal·nū) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5337.htm">Strong's 5337: </a> To strip, plunder, deliver oneself, be delivered, snatch away, deliver so לְמַ֣עַן (lə·ma·‘an) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4616.htm">Strong's 4616: </a> Purpose -- intent we can continue with עֲשׂ֔וֹת (‘ă·śō·wṯ) Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every these הָאֵֽלֶּה׃ (hā·’êl·leh) Article | Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those abominations”? הַתּוֹעֵב֖וֹת (hat·tō·w·‘ê·ḇō·wṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8441.htm">Strong's 8441: </a> Something disgusting, an abhorrence, idolatry, an idol <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/7-10.htm">Jeremiah 7:10 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/7-10.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 7:10 And come and stand before me (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/7-9.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 7:9"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 7:9" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/7-11.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 7:11"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 7:11" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
