Jeremiah 7:13

"“But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel."

Key Reflection

This verse contrasts the current disregard for God's temple with a reminder of His previous judgment on Shiloh, where He had once dwelled but was later rejected due to Israel’s sin. It underscores that just as God disciplined Shiloh, so too would He judge Jerusalem if the people continued in wickedness.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes
