Contextual Overview
1 This word came to Yirmeyahu from Adonai : 2 "Stand at the gate of the house of Adonai and proclaim this word: ‘Listen to the word of Adonai , all you from Y'hudah who enter these gates to worship Adonai ! 3 Here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: "Improve your ways and actions, and I will let you stay in this place. 4 Don't rely on that deceitful slogan, ‘The temple of Adonai , the temple of Adonai — these [buildings] are the temple of Adonai .' 5 No, but if you really improve your ways and actions; if you really administer justice between people; 6 if you stop oppressing foreigners, orphans and widows; if you stop shedding innocent blood in this place; and if you stop following other gods, to your own harm; 7 then I will let you stay in this place, in the land I gave to your ancestors forever and ever. 8 Look! You are relying on deceitful words that can't do you any good. 9 First you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, offer to Ba‘al and go after other gods that you haven't known. 10 Then you come and stand before me in this house that bears my name and say, ‘We are saved' — so that you can go on doing these abominations!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings,.... Or, "if ye make your ways good, and do your works well", which is what is exhorted to Jeremiah 7:3, and respects the duties of the moral law; which are more acceptable to God than legal sacrifices, when done from right principles, and with right views, from love, in faith, and to the glory of God; which is doing good works well; the particulars of which follow:
if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; without respect to persons, without favour and affection, without bribery and corruption; passing a righteous sentence, and making an equitable decision of the case between them, according to the law of God, and the rules of justice and equity: this respects judges and civil magistrates.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A summary of the conditions indispensable on man’s part, before he can plead the terms of the covenant in his favor.
Jeremiah 7:6
In this place - i. e., in Jerusalem. The prophet refers to innocent blood shed there judicially. Of one such judicial murder Jehoiakim had already been guilty Jeremiah 26:23.
Jeremiah 7:7
Why then do not the Jews still possess a land thus eternally given them? Because God never bestows anything unconditionally. The land was bestowed upon them by virtue of a covenant Genesis 17:7; the Jews had broken the conditions of this covenant Jeremiah 7:5-6, and the gift reverted to the original donor.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 7:5. If ye throughly amend your ways — Literally, If in making good ye fully make good your ways. God will no longer admit of half-hearted work. Semblances of piety cannot deceive him; he will not accept partial reformation; there must be a thorough amendment.
