Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 7:11

11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Heb. Breaker through. The word is taken in a large notion for all sorts af Plunderers whether in house, Ezek. 7.22. or field high-way men, Dan. 11.14. Do you look upon this house [illegible: 1 letter]s a Sanctuary and refuge for Robbers and Murderers, do you esteem it so, and is it so in your eyes so the phrase is used, Num. 13.33. &c. hereby making me an Abetter of all your Lewdness, Mat. 21.13. a Metaphor, taken from wild Beasts, and mischievous persons, that do both secure themselves, and hide their prey in Holes, and Caves of the Earth, Psal. 10.8, 9.

q. d. As crafty as you are, you cannot hide these things from me, nor all those workings of your thoughts about them, Psal. 10.11, 13, 14. Ezek. 18.12. He checks their foolish vain confidences, whereby they deceive themselves, Isa. 29.15. God will not be blinded by all their vain Oblations.
