Jeremiah 7:2

Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, very likely that which led from the outer court to the Court of Israel, and proclaim there this word, where the worshiping multitudes from the entire country might hear him, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. The address seems to indicate that the sermon here recorded was held at one of the great festivals of the Jews, when great throngs visited the capital and the Temple.
