Jeremiah 25:5

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore;" — Jeremiah 25:5 (ASV)

Turn ye again now ... —The sum and substance of the work of all true prophets has always been found, it scarcely needs to be said, in the call to repentance and conversion; but there is, perhaps, a special reference to the substance of their preaching as recorded in 2 Kings 17:13. The words are interesting as showing that Jeremiah was probably seconded in his work by other prophets whose names have not come down to us.
