Yirmeyah 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 11:6

Then the Lord said unto me
Again; for this is a repetition of the above order: proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of
Jerusalem:
with a loud voice, and openly, that all may hear: saying, hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them;
which their forefathers promised, when the covenant was made with them, ( Exodus 24:7 ) , but did not perform; hearing without doing is of little avail; not the hearers, but the doers of the law are justified; wherefore men should not be content with hearing only, ( Romans 2:13 ) ( James 1:22 ) .

Yirmeyah 11:6 In-Context

4 Which I commanded Avoteichem in the day that I brought them forth out from Eretz Mitzrayim, from the kur habarzel (the furnace of iron), saying, Obey My voice, and do all which I command you; so shall ye be My people, and I will be your Elohim;

5 That I may perform the shevuah (oath) which I have sworn unto Avoteichem to give them an Eretz zavat cholov udevash as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, Omein, Hashem.

6 Then Hashem said unto me, Proclaim all these Devarim in the towns of Yehudah, and in the streets of Yerushalayim, saying, Hear ye the Divrei HaBrit Hazot, and do them.

7 For I earnestly warned Avoteichem in the day that I brought them up out of Eretz Mitzrayim, even unto this day, rising early and warning, saying, Obey My voice.

8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ozen (ear), but walked every one in the sherirut (stubbornness) of their lev harah; therefore I brought upon them all the Divrei HaBrit Hazot, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
