Jeremias 25:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:8

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts
Of armies above and below; and so can do what he pleases in heaven and in earth: because ye have not heard my words;
by the prophets, so as to obey them; they had heard them externally, but did not observe to do them.

Jeremias 25:8 In-Context

6 Go ye not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that ye provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.

7 But ye hearkened not to me.

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since ye believed not my words,

9 behold I send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.

10 And I will destroy from them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
