Jeremiah 26:9 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord...? — The threat that the house in which they gloried should be as the old sanctuary of Ephraim, over whose fall they had exulted, was as the last drop that made the cup of wrath and bitterness run over. They had chanted their psalms, which told how that God “forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, even the tent which He had pitched among men” (Psalms 78:60). They could not bear to hear that a like fate was impending over them.

Jeremiah 26:9

9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
