Cross-References
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.
For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.
And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth,
In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.
And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;
Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word that came to Jeremiah,.... The Word of prophecy, as the Targum:
from the Lord, saying; this begins a new prophecy. This verse, and the beginning of the next, are wanting in the Septuagint version.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In Jer. 7–10 he addresses the people as they flocked into Jerusalem from the country, to attend the solemn services in the temple upon a fastday. Jehoiakim Jeremiah 26:0 had just ascended the throne, and was so incensed at this sermon that he would have put Jeremiah to death but for the influence of Ahikam. With the accession of Jehoiakim all hope of averting the ruin of the country had passed away. He represented the reverse of his father’s policy, and belonged to that faction, who placed their sole hope of deliverance in a close alliance with Pharaoh-Necho. As this party rejected the distinctive principles of the theocracy, and the king was personally an irreligious man, the maintenance of the worship of Yahweh was no longer an object of the public care. At this time upon a public fast-day, appointed probably because of the calamities under which the nation was laboring, Jeremiah was commanded by Yahweh to stand at the gate of the temple, and address to the people as they entered words of solemn warning. The whole sermon divides itself into three parts;

The whole sermon divides itself into three parts;
(1) It points out the folly of the superstitious confidence placed by the people in the temple, while they neglect the sole sure foundation of a nation’s hope. A sanctuary long polluted by immorality must inevitably be destroyed Jeremiah 7:2-3.
(2) complaints follow of a more general character, in which the growing wickedness of the nation and especially of the leaders is pointed out Jeremiah 8:4-24.
(3) lastly the prophet shows the possibility of averting the evils impending upon the nation Jeremiah 9:25-25.
Jeremiah 10:1-2. The temple had several entrances 2 Chronicles 4:9; and the gate or door here mentioned is probably that of the inner court, where Baruch read Jeremiah’s scroll Jeremiah 36:10. The prophet stood in the doorway, and addressed the people assembled in the outer court.
All ye of Judah - Better, literally all Judah (compare Jeremiah 26:2).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
Here begins another section of prophecy, ending with the ninth
chapter. It opens with exhorting to amendment of life, without
which the confidence of the Jews in their temple is declared
vain, 1-11.
God bids them take warning from the fate of their brethren the
Israelites, who had been carried away captive on account of
their sins without any regard to that sacred place, (Shiloh,)
where the ark of God once resided, 12-15.
The iniquities of Judah are so great in the sight of God that
the prophet is commanded not to intercede for the people, 16;
the more especially as they persisted in provoking God by their
idolatrous practices, 17-20.
The Jewish sacrifices, if not accompanied with obedience to the
moral law, are of no avail, 21-24.
Notwithstanding the numerous messages of mercy from the time of
the exodus, the people revolted more and more; and have added
to their other sins this horrible evil, the setting up of their
abominations in the temple of Jehovah; or, in other words, they
have encumbered the Mosaic economy, which shadowed forth the
glorious truths of Christianity, with a heterogeneous admixture
of the idolatrous, impure, and cruel rites of heathenism;
consequently, the whole land shall be utterly desolated, 25-34.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
Verse Jeremiah 7:1. The word that came to Jeremiah — This prophecy is supposed to have been delivered in the first year of the reign of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, who, far from following the example of his pious father, restored idolatry, maintained bad priests and worse prophets, and filled Jerusalem with abominations of all kinds.
