Yirmeyah 7:26

26 Yet they paid heed not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but stiffened stubbornly their neck; they did more evil than their Avot.

Yirmeyah 7:26 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:26

Yet they hearkened not unto me
Speaking by the prophets: nor inclined their ear;
to what was said to them; would not listen to it, and much less obey what was commanded them: but hardened their neck;
and so became stiffnecked, and would not submit to bear the yoke of the law: they did worse than their fathers;
every generation grew more and more wicked, and went on to be so until the measure of their iniquity was filled up; hence it follows:

Yirmeyah 7:26 In-Context

24 But they paid heed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the inclinations of the stubbornness of their lev harah (evil heart), and went backward, and not forward.

25 Since the day that Avoteichem came forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim unto this day I have even sent unto you all My servants the Nevi’im, daily rising up early and sending them;

26 Yet they paid heed not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but stiffened stubbornly their neck; they did more evil than their Avot.

27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these devarim unto them; but they will not pay heed to thee; thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.

28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a Goy (Nation) that obeyeth not the voice of Hashem Elohav, nor respondeth to musar; haemunah (the faith) is lost, and is cut off from their mouth.
