Jeremiah 7: 1-The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, Stand in the gate of the Lords house and proclaim there, this word and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at the gates to worship the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of host the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings; and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Thrust ye not in lying words, saying, the temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.
God uncover there sins, and rebuke them, through Jeremiah the prophet, but they did not take heed: they developed habits of increasingly wickedness: and live as the unbelievers did. Jeremiah prophesied from the Temple gates and challenged the people; he told them that even if it meant destroying the Temple, God would bring discipline to the Nation. The Nation had for gotten God after the death of King Josiah.
God said, put away your burnt offerings and Sacrifices and eat flesh. For I Spoke not to your Fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of Egypt. Concerning burnt offerings, But this I Command them saying Obey my Voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the ways that I have Commanded you, that it may be well with you. But ye hearken not;nor inclined your ears but walk in the Council and in the imagination of their evil heart and went back word, and not for word.
