7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors for ever and ever.
7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
7 only then will I move into your neighborhood. Only then will this country I gave your ancestors be my permanent home, my Temple.
7 then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
7 Then I will let you stay in this land that I gave to your ancestors to keep forever.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:7
Commentary on Jeremiah 7:1-16
(Read Jeremiah 7:1-16)
No observances, professions, or supposed revelations, will profit, if men do not amend their ways and their doings. None can claim an interest in free salvation, who allow themselves in the practice of known sin, or live in the neglect of known duty. They thought that the temple they profaned would be their protection. But all who continue in sin because grace has abounded, or that grace may abound, make Christ the minister of sin; and the cross of Christ, rightly understood, forms the most effectual remedy to such poisonous sentiments. The Son of God gave himself for our transgressions, to show the excellence of the Divine law, and the evil of sin. Never let us think we may do wickedness without suffering for it.
