Study note
Setting — The Lord speaks through Jeremiah to the Judahite populace assembled at the temple during a period of ignored prophetic warnings.
The words — וְעָשִׂיתִי (we-'asiti) translates literally as "and I will do," anchoring the declaration in divine certainty rather than human action.
The thread — The threat recalls the abandonment of the Shiloh sanctuary in Psalms 78:60 and points forward to the burning of Jerusalem's structures recorded in 2 Kings 25:9.
Why it lands — The passage requires readers to separate religious identity from divine favor, demanding that faith be evaluated by obedience rather than by trust in sacred locations or titles.

Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
