SCRIPTURE

"And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,)" — Jeremiah 25:4 (ASV)

And the Lord has sent to you all his servants the prophets, &c.] Not only him, but many others, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and others.

Rising early and sending [them]; not only the prophet, but the Lord himself is said to rise early, and send his prophets to them; which denotes his great care and concern for this people for their good; see (Jeremiah 7:25).

But you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear; which is an aggravation of their sin.

They had one prophet after another sent to them, sent by the Lord himself; he rising early and sending them, and they rising early, being sent to do their message. And yet they were not hearkened to or attended to.
