Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 11:7

7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers, in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early, and protesting, saying, Obey my voice .

In protesting ▪ I protested an usual way in the Hebrew by which they express the seriousness, and vehemency of an action, by protesting he meaneth the same with charging, and commanding, with promises annexed to obedience, and threatnings denounced in case of disobedience. This God saith he had done with a great deal of Patience, and diligence even from the time that this people were brought by him out of the Land of Aegypt.
