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
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets,.... The interpretations they give of the law; the doctrines they deliver; the exhortations, cautions, and reproofs given by them in the name of the Lord, whose servants they were; and therefore should be hearkened to; since hearkening to them is hearkening to the Lord himself, in whose name they speak, and whose message they deliver:
whom I sent unto you, both rising up early and sending [them]; they had their mission and commission from the Lord; and who was careful to send them early, if they might be instruments to do them good and prevent their ruin; they had the best of means, and these seasonable, and so were left without excuse:
(but ye have not hearkened); neither to the Lord, nor to his prophets; but went on in their own ways, neglecting the law of the Lord and the instructions of his servants.
