Yirmeyah 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:4

And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets,
&c.] Not only him, but many others, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and others: rising early and sending [them];
not only the prophet, but the Lord himself is said to rise early, and send his prophets to them; which denotes his great care and concern for this people for their good; see ( Jeremiah 7:25 ) ; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear;
which is an aggravation of their sin; that whereas they had one prophet after another sent to them, and sent by the Lord himself; he rising early, and sending them; and they rising early, being sent to do their message; and yet were not hearkened and attended to.
