Context — A Warning to the Cities of Judah
4And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
5and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,
6then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”
7Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD, 8and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!Cross References

Jeremiah 26:6 Summary
Jeremiah 26:6 is a warning from God that if His people do not listen to and obey Him, He will destroy the temple and make Jerusalem a curse to all nations, just like He did to the city of Shiloh, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 4:10-11. This verse reminds us of the importance of listening to God's Word and obeying His commands, as Jesus also taught in John 14:15. If we do not, we may face consequences, but if we do obey, we can have a deep, personal relationship with God, as seen in Psalm 119:97-104. By obeying God's commands, we can avoid inviting His judgment and instead experience His love and mercy, as promised in Deuteronomy 6:1-3.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Shiloh in Jeremiah 26:6?
Shiloh was a city where the tabernacle of God once stood, but it was destroyed by the Philistines, as recorded in 1 Samuel 4:10-11, and 1 Kings 14:2-16, serving as a warning of God's judgment on His people for their disobedience.
Why would God make Jerusalem an object of cursing among all nations?
God would make Jerusalem an object of cursing because of the people's refusal to listen to Him and obey His laws, as stated in Jeremiah 26:4-5, similar to the consequences faced by Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:17-19 for their disobedience.
Is Jeremiah 26:6 a prophecy that has already been fulfilled?
Yes, Jeremiah 26:6 was fulfilled when the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 586 BC, as recorded in 2 Kings 25:8-9, and this event serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobeying God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.
How does Jeremiah 26:6 relate to the New Testament?
Jeremiah 26:6 points to the importance of listening to and obeying God's Word, a theme that is continued in the New Testament, where Jesus teaches that those who love Him will keep His commandments, as stated in John 14:15, and this obedience is essential for a deep, personal relationship with God.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can ensure I am listening to and obeying God's commands in my own life, just as Jeremiah called the people to do?
- How can I apply the warning in Jeremiah 26:6 to my own relationships and community, and what are the potential consequences of ignoring God's Word?
- In what ways can I be a voice like Jeremiah, calling others to repentance and obedience to God's commands, as seen in Ezekiel 33:7-9?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be inviting God's judgment, and how can I turn away from those things and towards obedience, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 26:6
Then will I make this house like Shiloh,.... Where the ark was until it was taken by the Philistines; and then the Lord forsook his tabernacle there, Psalms 78:60; and so he threatens to do the like
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 26:6
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 26:6
Shiloh was the city where the tabernacle was pitched, and the ark, the symbol of God’ s presence, was, 21:19 ,9,24 3:21. Out of it the ark was carried, , when it was taken by the Philistines, and was carried no more thither, but rested in Kirjath-jearim, , where it rested twenty years. David fetched it from thence, . So that, as the psalmist tells us, ,61, God forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh; here he threateneth to do the like as to the temple, because of which they had such a confidence. Jeremiah, , had spoken much the same thing; it is a threatening that God would deprive them of his ordinances. To which he addeth a threatening of destruction to the city, to that degree, that when men should curse any place, they should say, God do unto thee as he did to Jerusalem. We had the like phrase , and have it again ,22, &c.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 26:6
Jeremiah 26:6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.Ver. 6. Then will I make this house like Shiloh.] This same threat Jeremiah had uttered in good Josiah’ s days, and no harm ensued. Now, tempora mutantur, truth breedeth hatred; and the prophet is in danger, for discharging his conscience, to be murdered; as were Rogers, Bradford, Taylor, and other famous preachers in those dog days of Queen Mary.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 26:6
(6) I will make this house like Shiloh.—See Notes on Jeremiah 7:14. The surprise and anger with which the announcement was received indicate that it was now heard for the first time, and so far confirms the view that we have here a summary of the discourse given in extenso, and probably edited, as it were, with many additions, in Jeremiah 7-10
