Commentators explain that Jeremiah's preaching locations were strategic. He first delivered an 'acted sermon' with the broken flask in Tophet, the very site of idolatry, for the leaders. Then, as this verse shows, he moved to the temple court to proclaim the same message publicly to all the people, making the warning impossible to ignore.
