Jeremiah 7:9
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;

Study Note
Jeremiah's indictment lists violations of the Decalogue's social commandments (stealing, murder, adultery, false swearing) alongside explicit polytheism (burning incense to Baal, following other gods), yoking Sinai's moral and cultic stipulations together as a unified covenantal package. The verb forms suggest habitual action rather than isolated transgression, depicting Judah's corruption as systemic social-religious breakdown rather than episodic failure. The following verse's rhetorical question — 'and come and stand before me in this house?' — makes the Temple the site of cognitive dissonance: the same community that violates covenant uses the Temple as a 'den of robbers' (Jeremiah 7:11), a phrase Jesus directly cites in his own Temple action (Mark 11:17). The passage is thus the explicit source text for Jesus' most dramatic prophetic sign-act.
