Cross-References
But Noe found grace before the Lord God.
And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
For yet seven days having passed I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.
And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.
And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.
And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,
pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
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;

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;
(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.
