Yirmeyah 7:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:27

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them
Before mentioned in the chapter; exhortations to duty, dehortations from sin, promises and threatenings: but they will not hearken to thee:
so as to reform from their evil ways, and do the will of God; they will neither be allured by promises, nor awed by menaces: thou shalt also call unto them;
with a loud voice, showing great vehemency and earnestness, being concerned for their good, and knowing the danger they were in: but they will not answer thee;
this the Lord knew, being God omniscient; and therefore, when it came to pass, it would be a confirmation to the prophet of his mission; and being told of it beforehand, was prepared to meet with and expect such a reception from them; so that he would not be discouraged at it; and at the same time it would confirm the character given of this people before.

Yirmeyah 7:27 In-Context

25 Since the day that Avoteichem came forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim unto this day I have even sent unto you all My servants the Nevi’im, daily rising up early and sending them;

26 Yet they paid heed not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but stiffened stubbornly their neck; they did more evil than their Avot.

27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these devarim unto them; but they will not pay heed to thee; thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a Goy (Nation) that obeyeth not the voice of Hashem Elohav, nor respondeth to musar; haemunah (the faith) is lost, and is cut off from their mouth.

29 Cut off thine hair, O Yerushalayim, and throw it away, and take up a kinah (lamentation) on barren heights; for Hashem hath rejected and abandoned the dor evrato (the generation of His wrath).
