This verse in Jeremiah 7
Commentary
3 notes on this verse(Verse 15) And I will cast you away from my face, just as I cast away all your brothers, the entire offspring of Ephraim (also called Israel). And how the Lord rejected the seed of Ephraim, that is, the ten tribes which were called Israel, and had princes because of Jeroboam the son of Nebat from the tribe of Ephraim, which was also called the tribe of Joseph; so also Jerusalem and the tribe of Judah with Benjamin testify that they will be rejected.
This site's exposition
go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh
on Jeremiah 7:12-15
The command to go now to Shiloh points at the tabernacle's first resting place, destroyed after Eli's sons and remembered in Psalm 78:60-64 and 1 Samuel 4's account of the ark's capture. If the ground where the ark itself stood carried no permanent immunity, the bench argues, then the second temple carries none either, and the reasoning carries the argument's weight rather than the topic verse: as I have done to Shiloh, so will I do to this house. The whole seed of Ephraim being cast out folds the northern kingdom's exile, already a century old, into the same warning.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)
The whole seed of Ephraim - i. e., the whole of the nine northern tribes. Their casting out was a plain proof that the possession of the symbols of God’s presence does not secure a Church or nation from rejection, if unworthy of its privileges.
