Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 7:27

27 Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.

Viz. Revive upon them all that thou hast been speaking to them from me these 40 years and upwards.

Whereby God shews, that there is nothing wanting on his part, for notwithstanding all their perverseness, yet he still warns them by his Prophet, which will leave them the more inexcusable, Ezek. 2.5, 7.

This must needs be a great trial to the Prophet, that he is assured that he shall speak to them in vain. But this God acquaints him with before-hand, partly for Ieremiah's sake, that he should not be discouraged, but the more imboldened, though he saw no success, Ezek. 2.7. and partly for the peoples sake, that being foretold of their obstinacy, they might bethink themselves and repent, if yet there might be hope, Lam. 3.29.

This shews their further refractoriness, that were not only deaf to Gods Message by his Prophet, but, though he cried loud, followed one Exhortation with another, yet they would make no return unto it.
