Jeremiah 7:9,10

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

"Will ye steal, etc., and then come and stand before me?"

Gods whom ye know not - ye have no grounds of 'knowing' that they are gods; but I have manifested my Godhead by my law, by benefits conferred, and by miracles. This aggravates their crime (Calvin). (, "They chose new gods").

Verse 10. And come - And yet come ().

We are delivered - namely, from all impending calamities. In spite of the prophet's threats, we have nothing to fear; we have offered our sacrifices, and therefore Yahweh will 'deliver' us.

To do all these abominations - namely, those enumerated (). These words are not to be connected with "we are delivered," but thus: 'Is it with his design that ye come and stand before me in this house,' in order that having offered your worthless sacrifices ye may be taken into my favour, and so do all these abominations () with impunity? (Maurer.)
