This verse in Jeremiah 7
Commentary
6 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 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
all the descendants of Ephraim
Ephraim names the whole northern kingdom. Jerome explains the usage: Jeroboam son of Nebat, the first king of the ten tribes, came from the tribe of Ephraim. Barnes draws the lesson that holding the signs of God's presence gave Israel no safety once it was unworthy of them.

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.
The whole seed of Ephraim - Taken here for all the ten tribes, that of Ephraim being the principal.
