Jeremiah 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:4

And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets,
&c.] Not only him, but many others, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and others: rising early and sending [them];
not only the prophet, but the Lord himself is said to rise early, and send his prophets to them; which denotes his great care and concern for this people for their good; see ( Jeremiah 7:25 ) ; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear;
which is an aggravation of their sin; that whereas they had one prophet after another sent to them, and sent by the Lord himself; he rising early, and sending them; and they rising early, being sent to do their message; and yet were not hearkened and attended to.

Jeremiah 25:4 In-Context

2 The prophet Jeremiah addressed all the people of Judah and all those living in Jerusalem.
3 From the thirteenth year of Judah's King Josiah, Amon's son, to this very day—twenty-three years—the LORD's word has come to me. I have delivered it to you repeatedly, although you wouldn't listen.
4 In fact, the LORD has tirelessly sent you all his servants, the prophets, but you wouldn't listen or pay attention.
5 They said, "Each one of you, turn from your evil ways and deeds and live in the fertile land that the LORD gave you and your ancestors for all time.
6 Don't follow or worship other gods and don't anger me by what you make with your hands. Then I won't bring disaster upon you."
