From Jeremiah, Jesus to today. Den of robbers!

Jeremiah 6:6
This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression.

Saints,
From the days of Jeremiah, Jesus to 2024.  NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

Jeremiah 7:3-11
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’ 5 For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor, 6 if you DO NOT oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and DO NOT shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin, 7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

8 “Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail. 9 Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to Baal and walk after other gods that you have not known, 10 then come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—that you may do all these abominations? 11 Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” declares the Lord.

3 times Jesus says...
"Is it not written: 'My house will be called a house of prayer for ALL THE NATIONS'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"   (Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:46)

Matthew 23:37-39
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

In closing,

Jeremiah 6:6
This is what the Lord Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem.
This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression.
