Notes

Jeremiah 7:5–7

Idol worship harmed the people in several ways. Spiritually, idols were illusions. Socially, idol worship ruined their community bonds. Politically, it made them overconfident against foreign armies. Without change, they had no future in the Promised Land (Exodus 22:21–24; Deuteronomy 4:40; 6:14–15).

Jeremiah 7:1–15

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