Jeremías 26:5

5 y si no escuchan las palabras de mis siervos los profetas, a quienes una y otra vez he enviado y ustedes han desobedecido,

Jeremías 26:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:5

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.

Jeremías 26:5 In-Context

3 Tal vez te hagan caso y se conviertan de su mal camino. Si lo hacen, me arrepentiré del mal que pensaba hacerles por causa de sus malas acciones.

4 Tú les advertirás que así dice el SEÑOR: ‘Si no me obedecen ni se ciñen a la ley que yo les he entregado,

5 y si no escuchan las palabras de mis siervos los profetas, a quienes una y otra vez he enviado y ustedes han desobedecido,

6 entonces haré con esta casa lo mismo que hice con Siló: ¡Haré de esta ciudad una maldición para todas las naciones de la tierra!’”»

7 Los sacerdotes, los profetas y el pueblo entero oyeron estas palabras que el profeta Jeremías pronunció en la casa del SEÑOR.
