Jeremiah 2:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:4

Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the
families of the house of Israel.
] The Lord, by the prophet, having observed his great kindness to this people, what they were unto him, and what a regard he had for them, proceeds to upbraid them with their ingratitude, and requires an attention to what he was about to say; all are called upon, because, all were guilty. This respects the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the several families in them. The ten tribes had been long carried captive.
