Jeremiah 25:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:7

Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the Lord
Though it was he that spake unto them by his prophets; and though it was so much to their own good and advantage; and the neglect of him and his word were so much to their disadvantage, and even ruin: that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to
