Contextual Overview

1 This word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 "Stand in the gate of the Lord's house and make this word known: ‘Hear the Word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who go through these gates to worship the Lord!'" 3 The Lord of All, the God of Israel, says, "Change your ways and your works for the better, and I will let you live in this place. 4 Do not trust the lies that say, ‘This is the house of the Lord, the house of the Lord, the house of the Lord.' 5 For if you for sure change your ways and what you do for the better, if you are fair as you judge between a man and his neighbor, 6 if you do not make it hard for the stranger from another land, or the child whose parents have died, or the woman whose husband has died, and do not kill those who are not guilty in this place, and stop going after other gods, for that will destroy you, 7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. 8 "See, you are trusting in lies which cannot help you. 9 Will you steal, kill, do sex sins, make false promises, give gifts to the false god Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, 10 and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are safe and free!' and still do all these hated sins?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Is this house, which is called by my name,.... Meaning the temple:

become a den of robbers in your eyes? or do you look upon it, and make use of it, as thieves do of dens; who, when they have robbed and murdered men, betake themselves to them, not only to share their spoil, but to hide themselves? just so those thieves, murderers adulterers, perjurers, and idolaters, after they had committed such gross enormities, came into the temple and offered sacrifices; thinking hereby to cover their sins, and expiate the guilt of them, and to be looked upon as good men, and true worshippers of God, when they were no better than thieves and robbers; and such were the Pharisees in Christ's time, and such was the temple as made by them; see Matthew 21:13:

behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord; not only all the abominations committed by them, but the use they made of the temple and the worship of it; all the hypocrisy of their hearts, and the inward thoughts of them, and their views and intentions in their offerings and sacrifices; as well as what ruin and destruction the Lord designed to bring shortly upon them, and upon that house which they had made a den of robbers; as follows:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Robbers - literally, tearers, those who rob with violence. The temple was the place which sheltered them. It had been consecrated to God. Now that it harbors miscreants, must it not as inevitably be destroyed as a den of robbers would be by any righteous ruler?
