Passage
The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying, Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place. Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord. For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour, And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction, Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer. Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite. Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not? And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations? Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord. But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel. Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere). Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo. And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.

Study Lenses
The verse centers on "called", "woordes", "came", "ieremiah", "lord", "saying", "stand", and "gate". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "called" and "woordes", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "Therfore thou shalt not pray for this...", so "called" and "woordes" should be read forward into that movement. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "called" and "woordes" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
