Contextual Overview
1In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been from YHWH, saying, 2"Thus said YHWH: Stand in the court of the house of YHWH, and you have spoken to all [those of] the cities of Judah, who are coming to bow themselves in the house of YHWH, all the words that I have commanded you to speak to them—you do not diminish a word. 3Perhaps they listen, and each turns back from his evil way; then I have relented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings. 4And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: If you do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I set before you,5to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you, indeed, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, 6then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all 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.
