Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 25:7

7 Yet he have not hearkned unto me , saith the LORD, that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt .

Ye heard me, and other the Lords Prophets thus speaking to you, but you did not obey, and hearken.

As if you had done it on purpose to incense me against you, who am of my self slow to wrath, and must be provoked to execute vindicative justice by mens own wicked works.

Which do not otherwise affect or hurt me, but are to their hurt who do them.
