Jeremiah 25:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 25:5

3 ^a“From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, this is the twenty-third year in which the word of the Lord has come to me; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, ^bbut you have not listened.

4 And the Lord has sent to you all His servants the prophets, ^arising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear.

5 They said, ^a‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.

6 Do not go after other gods to serve them and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not harm you.’

7 Yet you have not listened to Me,” says the Lord, “that you might ^aprovoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

8 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Because you have not heard My words,

9 behold, I will send and take ^aall the families of the north,’ says the Lord, ‘and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^bMy servant, and will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against these nations all around, and will utterly destroy them, and ^cmake them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
