Contextual Overview

1 At the beginning of the reign of Y'hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah, this word came from Adonai : 2 " Adonai says: ‘Stand in the courtyard of Adonai 's house and speak to the people from all the cities in Y'hudah who come to worship at Adonai 's house; say everything I order you to say to them, and don't leave out a word. 3 Maybe they will listen, and each of them turn from his evil way; then I will be able to relent from the disaster I intend to bring on them because of how evil their deeds are. 4 So tell them that this is what Adonai says: "If you will not pay attention to me and live according to my Torah, which I have given you, 5 and listen to what my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, say — I have sent them frequently, but you haven't listened — 6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing for all the nations of the earth."'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shalt say unto them,.... What follows is the substance of the prophecy, and the sum of the sermon or discourse he was sent to deliver, without diminishing a word of it:

thus saith the Lord, if ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you; first by Moses, by whose hands it was given to their fathers; and by the prophets, the interpreters of it to them; before whom it was set as a way for them to walk in, and a rule to walk by; a directory for them in their lives and conversations; and which continues to be so, as it is set before us Christians by our King and Lawgiver Jesus Christ; though not to obtain righteousness and life by the works of it; which should not be sought for, nor are attainable thereby.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 26:4. If ye will not hearken — This and several of the following verses are nearly the same with those in Jeremiah 7:13, &c., where see the notes.
