Barnes's Jeremiah 7:10 Bible Commentary
We are delivered - Jeremiah accuses them of trusting in the ceremonial of the temple instead of leading holy lives. "You break," he says, "the Ten Commandments, and then you go to the Temple; and when the service is over you say, We are delivered. We have atoned for our past actions, and may start afresh with easy minds upon a new course of wickedness."
Wesley's Jeremiah 7:10 Bible Commentary
7:10 Delivered - After they had appeared before God with their sacrifices, they thought they were privileged to return to all those wickednesses.
