The
judgment of God is upon those who set themselves against Him. This is
the message which emerges from Jeremiah’s preaching regarding Egypt.
The Lord sets Himself against those who teach false doctrine which
“does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to
godly teaching” (1 Timothy 6:3).
The contrast between “the arrogant” and the godly is clear - “May the
arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause, but I will
meditate on Your precepts” (Psalm 119:78).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
