Context of Jeremiah 7:27

25From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again. 26Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers. When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer. 28Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips. 29Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’

Commentaries on Jeremiah 7:27

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27Rather, Though thou … yet etc.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 21-28Verses 21-28 God shows that obedience was required of them. That which God commanded was, Hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord thy God. The promise is very encouraging. Let God's will be your rule, and his favour shall be your happiness. God was displeased with disobedience. We understand the gospel as little as the Jews understood the law, if we think that even the sacrifice of Christ lessens our obligation to obey.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27-29The Lord told Jeremiah to keep sharing his messages, even though the people of Judah had completely rejected the Lord and would not listen (compare Ezekiel 2:7). Jeremiah should shave his head, mourn, and weep alone on the mountains (compare Job 1:20).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. Therefore--rather, "Though thou speak ... yet they will not hearken" [Maurer], (Eze 2:7), a trial to the prophet's faith; though he knew his warnings would be unheeded, still he was to give them in obedience to God.Read the comment
