Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 7:1

"The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying," — Jeremiah 7:1 (ASV)

This chapter and the three that follow once again form a great prophetic sermon, delivered to the crowds that flocked to the Temple. Nothing in the discourse definitively fixes its date.

However, the description of prevalent idolatry, and possibly the reference to the presence of the Chaldean invader in Jeremiah 8:16; Jeremiah 10:22, aligns more with the reign of Jehoiakim than with that of Josiah. Furthermore, given the specific reference to Shiloh in Jeremiah 26:6; Jeremiah 26:9 (a reference found in a prophecy delivered at the beginning of that reign), it was likely this discourse—or a similar one delivered around the same time—that provoked the king’s displeasure .
