Jeremiah 7:11

“Is this house, which is called by my name, etc.] Meaning the temple: become a den of robbers in your eyes? or do you look upon it, and make use of it, as thieves do of dens; who, when they have robbed and murdered men, betake themselves to them, not only to share their spoil, but to hide themselves? just so those thieves, murderers adulterers, perjurers, and idolaters, after they had committed such gross enormities, came into the temple and offered sacrifices; thinking hereby to cover their sins, and expiate the guilt of them, and to be looked upon as good men, and true worshippers of God, when they were no better than thieves and robbers; and such were the Pharisees in Christ’s time, and…”

“den of robbers--Do you regard My temple as being what robbers make their den, namely, an asylum wherein ye may obtain impunity for your abominations (Jer 7:10)? seen it--namely, that ye treat My house as if it were a den of thieves. Jehovah implies more than is expressed, "I have seen and will punish it" (Isa 56:7; Mat 21:13).”

“Robbers - literally, tearers, those who rob with violence. The temple was the place which sheltered them. It had been consecrated to God. Now that it harbors miscreants, must it not as inevitably be destroyed as a den of robbers would be by any righteous ruler? return to 'Top of Page'”

“A den - Do you look upon this house as a sanctuary for robbers and murderers. Jeremiah 7:12”

“7:11 a den of thieves: See 5:29-31; Matt 21:13; Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46.”

“this: Ch2 6:33; Isa 56:7; Mat 21:13; Mar 11:17; Luk 19:45, Luk 19:46; Joh 2:16 even: Jer 2:34, Jer 16:16, Jer 16:17, Jer 23:24; Heb 4:13; Rev 2:18, Rev 2:19 Jeremiah 7:12”
