IN the beginning of this Chapter, the Lord sends by his Prophet, to call Judah and Jerusalem to true Repentance, encouraging them […] it by a promise of establishment of their peace and mercies, in case they would so do, ver. 1, 2, 3, & 5, 6, 7, &c. That this coun•ell of his may take effect upon them, he endeavours to reclaim them from their vain confidence in their external worship, and enjoyment of the Temple and Ordinances, ver. 4. After which he enlargeth himself by a Declaration, of their hypocritical dealings, and false trust in the Temple, as if it were a sure safeguard to them from punishment, notwithstanding all their wicked abominations, ver. 8, 9, 10. which vanity, he declares to be a changing of a place of holy worship, into a den of robbers, ver. 11. and then gives them to understand that he takes notice of it: And in the Text further calls them off from their vain confidence by sending them to Shiloh, to take notice of his dealing with them for their sins.
