Commentary on Jeremiah 26:9

Theological / Devotional

Why hast thou prophesied? That the Temple, which was the Israelites’ pride and glory (see on ch. 7:4), should suffer the fate of the old sanctuary of Shiloh was an unbearable thought that rallied “all the people” against the prophet. The people had placed their entire confidence in a strict observance of the outward religious services of the Temple.
