Context — Jeremiah’s Message at the Temple Gate
3Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
4Do not trust in deceptive words, saying: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
5For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
6if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm, 7then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.Cross References

Jeremiah 7:5 Summary
[Jeremiah 7:5 is a call to action, urging us to examine our lives and make changes to align with God's will, as seen in Isaiah 55:7. This means treating others with fairness and kindness, as taught in Micah 6:8, and living a life that is pleasing to Him. By doing so, we can experience God's presence and blessing in our lives, as promised in Jeremiah 7:5-7 and Deuteronomy 28:1-14. As we strive to correct our ways and deeds, we can trust in God's love and guidance, and remember that He desires a personal relationship with us, as seen in Jeremiah 31:33 and John 17:3.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'correct your ways and deeds' in Jeremiah 7:5?
To correct your ways and deeds means to turn away from sin and towards God, as seen in Isaiah 55:7, and to live a life that is pleasing to Him, as mentioned in Romans 12:1-2.
How can we 'act justly toward one another' as mentioned in Jeremiah 7:5?
Acting justly toward one another involves treating others with fairness, kindness, and compassion, as taught in Micah 6:8 and Matthew 7:12, and reflecting God's love and character in our relationships.
Is correcting our ways and deeds enough to please God?
While correcting our ways and deeds is important, it is not enough on its own to please God, as seen in Jeremiah 7:6, which emphasizes the need to also care for the vulnerable and avoid idolatry, and as taught in Matthew 22:37-40, which emphasizes the importance of loving God and loving our neighbors.
What is the connection between correcting our ways and living in the promised land?
The connection between correcting our ways and living in the promised land is that obedience to God's commands, including correcting our ways, is a condition for living in the land that God has given to us, as seen in Jeremiah 7:5-7 and Deuteronomy 28:1-14.
Reflection Questions
- What areas of my life need correction, and how can I take steps to align them with God's will?
- How can I demonstrate justice and kindness towards those around me, especially those who may be marginalized or oppressed?
- What are some ways that I can prioritize loving God and loving my neighbors, as taught in Matthew 22:37-40, and how can I reflect this in my daily life?
- What are some idols or distractions in my life that may be hindering my relationship with God, and how can I remove them?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 7:5
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings,.... Or, "if ye make your ways good, and do your works well", which is what is exhorted to Jeremiah 7:3, and respects the duties of the moral law;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 7:5
For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; For - But (Maurer). Execute judgment - justice (Jeremiah 22:3).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:5
He tells them, it is not their vain confidence in their privileges, and boasting of the temple, but only their serious and thorough repentance in turning to God, both in point of piety and equity, that can secure them. Between a man and his neighbour, i.e. impartially among one another, between man and man, without favour or hatred.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:5
Jeremiah 7:5 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;Ver. 5. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways.] If ye thoroughly execute judgment; if ye be serious in the one, and sedulous in the other. See Jeremiah 7:2.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:5
(5) A man and his neighbour.—The Jewish idiom for the English “one man and another.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:5
Verse 5. If ye throughly amend your ways] Literally, If in making good ye fully make good your ways. God will no longer admit of half-hearted work. Semblances of piety cannot deceive him; he will not accept partial reformation; there must be a thorough amendment.
