27 "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
27 "So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
27 "Tell them all this, but don't expect them to listen. Call out to them, but don't expect an answer.
27 "Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.
27 "Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 7:27
Commentary on Jeremiah 7:21-28
(Read Jeremiah 7:21-28)
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.
