Jeremiah 26:5
Read Jeremiah 26:5 Using Other Translations
What does Jeremiah 26:5 mean?
To hearken to the words of my servants the
prophets
The interpretations they give of the law; the doctrines they
deliver; the exhortations, cautions, and reproofs given by them
in the name of the Lord, whose servants they were; and therefore
should be hearkened to; since hearkening to them is hearkening to
the Lord himself, in whose name they speak, and whose message
they deliver: whom I sent unto you, both rising up early
and sending [them];
they had their mission and commission from the Lord; and who was
careful to send them early, if they might be instruments to do
them good and prevent their ruin; they had the best of means, and
these seasonable, and so were left without excuse: (but ye
have not hearkened);
neither to the Lord, nor to his prophets; but went on in their
own ways, neglecting the law of the Lord and the instructions of
his servants.
