Notes

Jeremiah 7:8–10

steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury: The people's actions broke most of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3–7, 13–17).
burn incense...follow: Israel's relationship with God did not rely on any magical or ritual connection. It depended on following the terms of his covenant. Their actions broke that relationship and disrespected the Lord's holy character.

Jeremiah 7:1–15

Jeremiah corrected the people who believed that God's Temple would ensure their safety (compare Jeremiah 26:1–6).
