John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 5:21

"Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not:" — Jeremiah 5:21 (ASV)

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding,
&c.] or, "heart" ^F1; (See Gill on Jeremiah 4:22): which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not; like the idols they served, (Psalms 115:4–8). this is an upbraiding of them with their folly and stupidity, their want of common sense, their blindness and ignorance; notwithstanding they had the means of light and knowledge, the law, and the prophets.
