14therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
15And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim. 16As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.Cross References

Jeremiah 7:14 Summary
[God is warning His people that if they do not repent and turn to Him, He will destroy the temple in Jerusalem, just like He destroyed Shiloh, because of their wickedness and disobedience, as seen in Jeremiah 7:12-13. This warning is still relevant today, as God calls us to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, as seen in Acts 2:38 and 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10. We must examine our hearts and lives to ensure that we are trusting in God's presence and promises, and not in our own strength or goodness, as encouraged in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 37:3-7. By doing so, we can avoid God's judgment and experience His mercy and forgiveness, as promised in 1 John 1:9 and Romans 8:1-39.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Shiloh in Jeremiah 7:14?
Shiloh was a place where God first made a dwelling for His Name, but due to the wickedness of His people, He destroyed it, as seen in Jeremiah 7:12, and now He warns that He will do the same to the temple in Jerusalem if the people do not repent, similar to the warning given in Deuteronomy 28:1-68.
What is the 'house that bears My Name' in Jeremiah 7:14?
The 'house that bears My Name' refers to the temple in Jerusalem, where God's people trusted in His presence and promises, as mentioned in 1 Kings 8:1-66, but were now facing judgment due to their disobedience, as warned in Leviticus 26:14-46.
Why does God say He will do to the temple what He did to Shiloh?
God says He will do to the temple what He did to Shiloh because His people have not listened to His warnings and have continued in their wicked ways, as stated in Jeremiah 7:13, and as a result, they will face the same judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 25:1-38 and Lamentations 1:1-22.
What can we learn from God's warning in Jeremiah 7:14?
We can learn that God is a holy and just God who will not tolerate sin and disobedience, as seen in Isaiah 1:1-31 and Ezekiel 18:1-32, and that we must repent and turn to Him to avoid His judgment, as encouraged in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Acts 3:19-26.
