I gave--and I therefore can revoke the gift for it is still Mine (Le 25:23), now that ye fail in the only object for which it was given, the promotion of My glory.
This site's exposition
go now to the place in Shiloh
on Jeremiah 7:12-15
The command to “go now to the place in Shiloh” points to the tabernacle's first home, destroyed after Eli's sons and remembered in Psalm 78:60-64. The LORD draws the lesson, “what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name”.
This site's exposition
the house in which you trust
The phrase the house in which you trust makes the temple itself the object of Judah's confidence. Jamieson, Fausset and Brown note that the land remained the LORD's after he gave it, citing Leviticus 25:23, so the Giver could revoke the gift. Shiloh had already shown it.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Verse 14) I will do to this house, where my name has been invoked, and in which you have trusted, and to the place which I have given to you and your fathers, as I did to Shiloh. Because God called them, rising up from the night, in order to deliver them from darkness, he threatens to do similar things to them as he did to the Temple in Jerusalem, which he made in the place of Shiloh, where the tabernacle first was: so that similar sins may be punished with the same verdict.
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name,....
The temple at Jerusalem, though ever so strongly built, if wickedness was found in it, would be as unable to keep its ground and as easily conquered as even the tabernacle in Shiloh was, when God's day of vengeance had come.
