Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 25:3

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you rising early, and speaking but ye have not hearkned .

We read chap. 1.2. that Jeremiah began to prophesie in the thirteenth year of Josiah. Iosiah reigned thirty one years, 2 Kin. 22.1. so that taking in the thirteenth year, Ieremiah prophesied nineteen years during the Life of Iosiah, to which adding the four of Iehojakims reign it maketh twenty three.

These twenty three years saith the Prophet I have been a Preacher to you, and I have not been negligent in my work, but like men, that get up early in the morning to dispatch their business, so have I been in the discharge of my prophetical office.
