Jeremías 26:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:2

Thus saith the Lord, stand in the court of the Lord's house,
&c.] It, the great court of Israel, where the people used to meet together for worship: and speak unto all the cities of Judah;
the inhabitants of them; not only to those that dwelt at Jerusalem but in the rest of the cities of Judah; for what he was to say concerned them all, they having all sinned, and needed repentance and reformation; without which they would be involved in the general calamity of the nation: which come to worship in the Lord's house;
as they did three times in the year, at the feasts of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles; and it was now the last of these, as Bishop Usher thinks, when this prophecy was to be delivered to them: all the words that I command thee to speak to them:
nothing must be kept back, the whole counsel of God must be declared; not a word suppressed through affection to them, or fear of them; God commanded, and must be obeyed, let the consequence be what it will: diminish not a word;
soften not any expression or alter any word, by putting one more smooth for one rough; or change the accent, or abate of the vehemency of delivering it; but both for matter manner, and form let it be as directed, without any subtraction and diminution, change or alteration: a rule which every minister of the word ought to attend to; seeking not to please men, but God that sends him and Christ whose minister he is.

4 »Diles: “Esto dice el Señor
: ‘Si ustedes no me escuchan ni obedecen la palabra que les he dado

5 ni tampoco escuchan a mis siervos, los profetas —porque los envié una y otra vez para advertirles, pero ustedes rehusaron escucharlos—,
