8But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
9Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
10and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
11Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD. 12But 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.Cross References

Jeremiah 7:10 Summary
[This verse is saying that the people of Judah were coming to the Temple, which was a special place of worship, and acting like they were okay with God, even though they were doing many bad things, like stealing and worshiping false gods. They thought that just because they were in the Temple, God would accept them, but God sees the heart and knows when we are not being genuine. As it says in Psalm 51:17, a broken and contrite heart is what God desires, not just outward appearances of righteousness. We must come to God with humility and repentance, not with a sense of self-righteousness or confidence in our own goodness, as warned against in 1 Corinthians 10:12.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'stand before' God in Jeremiah 7:10?
In Jeremiah 7:10, standing before God means to come into His presence with a sense of confidence or expectation of acceptance, as seen in Psalm 95:6, despite being unworthy or unrepentant, which is contrary to the humility and repentance called for in Isaiah 66:2.
What are the 'abominations' mentioned in Jeremiah 7:10?
The abominations in Jeremiah 7:10 refer to the sinful practices listed in the preceding verses, such as stealing, murder, adultery, and idolatry, which are also condemned in other parts of Scripture like Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21.
How can people claim to be 'delivered' while still practicing sin?
People may claim to be delivered while still practicing sin due to a misguided understanding of God's grace and mercy, as warned against in Romans 6:1-2, or a lack of genuine repentance, as emphasized in 2 Corinthians 7:10.
What is the significance of the house that 'bears My Name' in Jeremiah 7:10?
The house that bears God's Name in Jeremiah 7:10 refers to the Temple in Jerusalem, which was considered a sacred place of worship, as seen in 1 Kings 8:29, but had become corrupted by the people's sinful practices, as also noted in Ezekiel 8:1-18.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 7:10
And come and stand before me in this house,.... In the temple; this they did after they had been guilty of such immoralities and idolatry; thinking by their appearance there, and their performance of
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 7:10
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; "Will ye steal, etc., and then come and stand before me?" Gods
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:10
And come and stand before me in this house; in the temple; either as if they had done no such thing, like the whore, that wipes her mouth, and saith she hath done no wickedness, , noting their deep hypocrisy; or else that barely this would expiate for all their abominations, as if they could make God amends for their sins by their duties; and their posture of standing notes their service, . Which is called by my name; that is acknowledged to bc my house, and bears my name, dedicated to me. We are delivered to do all these abominations; that is, after they had appeared before God with their sacrifices, either they thought themselves safe from all danger, and freed from God’ s judgments, ; or rather privileged to return to all those wickednesses again, hereby noting their impudence. See , &c. LXX. read it, we have abstained from all these abominations, as if these were the lying words in which they trusted.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:10
Jeremiah 7:10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?Ver. 10. And come and stand before me in this house.] This was worse than to do as the Circassiaus, a kind of mongrel Christians of the Greek Church of this day, who, as they baptize not their children till the eighth year, so they enter not into the Church, the gentlemen especially, till the sixtieth year, but hear divine service standing without the temple - that is to say, till through age they grow unable to continue their rapines and robberies, to which sin that nation is exceedingly addicted. And say, We are delivered,] i.e., Licensed. Hoc idem dicunt qui cogitationes inter peccata non numerant, saith Oecolampadius. Breerwood’ s Enquiry.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:10
(10) And come and stand.—Better, and then have ye come, and stood before me. We are delivered.—Taking the word as it stands (a different punctuation adopted by some commentators and versions gives Deliver us, as though reproducing, with indignant scorn, the very prayer of the people), the sense seems to be this. 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.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 7:10
10. called by my name] in token of ownership. Cp. Jeremiah 14:9, Jeremiah 25:29, Jeremiah 32:34. See other references for the phrase in Dr.’s note. We are delivered] We are guaranteed impunity by the discharge of this religious formality. It is best with R.V. to limit the people’s supposed utterance to these three words, and to make the clause that follows to be the prophet’s indignant and sarcastic retort.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 7:10
We are delivered - Jeremiah accuses them of trusting in the ceremonial of the temple instead of leading holy lives.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:10
9, 10. Will ye steal… and burn incense unto Baal — The precise thought of this notable passage is obscured, if not, indeed, materially changed, in the Authorized Version.
