Jeremiah 7:5 → Exodus 20:14

Exodus 20:14 commands marital faithfulness through the prohibition of adultery (לֹא תִנְאָף, lo tin'af), and Jeremiah 7:5 connects covenant obedience—including sexual fidelity—to the condition for dwelling securely in the land: "If you truly practice justice (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat) between one another." Jeremiah's temple sermon treats the Decalogue's commandments as the non-negotiable terms for continued divine blessing, linking the personal ethics of the seventh commandment to the corporate practice of justice. The people cannot claim the temple's protection while violating the covenant whose terms the temple embodies.
