Commentary on Jeremiah 7:11

Theological / Devotional

A den of robbers. The men who served and worshiped at the Temple were wicked men who covered their wickedness with a cloak of piety.

I have seen. The inhabitants of Judah could not hide their evil intentions from God. He was not blinded by all their vain oblations. He had seen all and would punish accordingly (see Ps. 10:11, 13, 14; Isa. 29:15).
