This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Jews falsely thought that because their temple had been chosen by Jehovah as His peculiar dwelling, it could never be destroyed. Men think that ceremonial observances will supersede the need of holiness (Isa 48:2; Mic 3:11).

these - the temple buildings which the prophet points to with his finger (Jer 7:2).
