Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
(Jeremiah 8:7).
crib—the stall where it is fed (Proverbs 14:4). Spiritually the word and ordinances.
Israel—The whole nation, Judah as well as Israel, in the restricted sense. God regards His covenant-people in their designed unity.
not know—namely, his Owner, as the parallelism requires; that is, not recognize Him as such (Exodus 19:5, equivalent to "my people," John 1:10-11).
consider—attend to his Master (Isaiah 41:8), notwithstanding the spiritual food which He provides (answering to "crib" in the parallel clause).
