THE MESSAGE
"‘So now, because of the way you have lived and failed to listen, even though time and again I took you aside and talked seriously with you, and because you refused to change when I called you to repent, I'm going to do to this Temple, set aside for my worship, this place you think is going to keep you safe no matter what, this place I gave as a gift to your ancestors and you, the same as I did to Shiloh. And as for you, I'm going to get rid of you, the same as I got rid of those old relatives of yours around Shiloh, your fellow Israelites in that former kingdom to the north.'

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
And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord,.... Meaning evil works, such as theft, murder, adultery, perjury, and idolatry, mentioned Jeremiah 7:8 or the same which were done by the people of Israel, on account of which the tabernacle at Shiloh was left:
and I spake unto you, rising up early; that is, by his servants the prophets, whom he sent unto them, and by whom he spoke, as the Targum paraphrases it, and as it is in Jeremiah 7:25, which shows the Lord's great concern for this people, his early care of them, in sending his servants betimes to warn, rebuke, and reclaim them:
and speaking, but ye heard not; would not listen to the words of the prophets, and of the Lord by them; but turned a deaf ear to them, which aggravates their stubbornness, obstinacy, and wickedness, that so much respect should be shown them, so much pains should be taken with them, and that so early, and yet to no purpose:
and I called you, but ye answered not; this call was by the external ministry of the prophets, and was with great vehemence in them, but not with divine energy; however, it was sufficient to leave the Jews without excuse; and their inattention to it exposes their hardness and wilful obstinacy; see Proverbs 1:24.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rising up early and speaking - A proverbial expression for âspeaking zealously and earnestly.â It is used only by Jeremiah.
