John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 13:15

"Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken." — Jeremiah 13:15 (ASV)

Hear you, and give ear
Both to what goes before, and what follows after.

The words doubled denote the closest and strictest attention: be not proud ; haughty, scornful, as above all instruction, and needing no advice and counsel, self-conceited, despising the word of God, and his messages by his prophets; or, "do not lift up yourselves" ^F24 ; above others, and against God:

for the Lord has spoken ; it is not I, but the Lord; and what he has said shall certainly come to pass; so the Targum, ``for in the word of the Lord it is so decreed;''

it is in vain to oppose him; his counsel shall stand, and he will do all his pleasure; none ever hardened themselves against him, and prospered.
