Jer 7:8-10 | MHM | STEP | v. 8-10 : God rebukes the people for trusting in “lying words” that cannot help them. They steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, and worship other gods, then come to the temple thinking they are safe, as if God will protect them simply because they visit His house. God exposes their hypocrisy and warns that their confidence in ritual without repentance is false ( Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know; and come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? , Jeremiah 7:8-10 ).
