Commentary on Jeremiah 7:10

Theological / Devotional

Called by my name. See Jer. 7:11, 14, 30; 32:34; 34:15; see on Deut. 12:5.

To do all these abominations. These concluding words are hardly a part of what the people said. They seem rather to be the words of the prophet, who lays bare the secret intentions of these formal worshipers. In view of the fact that the threatened judgments had not come, the people went on practicing their abominations.
