Yirmiya Perek 7

This prophecy took place at the entrance of the Beis Hamikdash.

Yisrael, change your evil ways!

Don’t put your faith in the actual physical structure of the Beis Hamikdash. The Beis Hamikdash had no inherent power of its own.

Hashem only rests His presence on the Beis Hamikdash when Yisrael is worthy. If they are not worthy, Hashem won’t rest His presence on the Beis Hamikdash.

If Yisrael would only do what is proper in the eyes of Hashem there would no longer be a threat of destruction.

Hashem tells Yirmiya not to pray on behalf of Yisrael because Yisrael won’t listen.

Hashem will pour out His anger on the residents of Yehudah.

All happiness will cease to exist in Eretz Yisrael.
