Then will I make this house like Shiloh, etc.] Where the ark was until it was taken by the Philistines; and then the Lord forsook his tabernacle there, (<197860>Psalm 78:60); and so he threatens to do the like to the temple at Jerusalem, should they continue in their disobedience to him; (see Gill on “<240712>Jeremiah 7:12”) and (see Gill on “<240714>Jeremiah 7:14”); and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth; that is, the city of Jerusalem, which should be taken up, and used proverbially in all countries; who, when they would curse anyone, should say, the Lord make thee as Jerusalem, or do unto thee as he has done to Jerusalem.
