📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from God's message through the prophet Jeremiah to the people of Judah before their exile to Babylon. God was explaining why He would bring judgment upon them - because He saw all their idolatry, injustice, and unfaithfulness that they thought they could hide. The people had been practicing secret worship of false gods and committing various sins while still maintaining outward religious appearances.
