Jeremiah 7:3

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place." — Jeremiah 7:3 (ASV)

Your ways and your doings. —“Ways,” as in Zechariah 1:6, are general habits; “doings” are separate acts.

I will cause you to dwell. —The English suggests the thought of something new, but what Jeremiah promises is simply the continuance of the blessings they had previously enjoyed. I will let you dwell.
