When People Won't Listen
Commentators note that after the people resolved not to listen to Jeremiah, the prophet immediately turned his appeal to God. Charles Ellicott calls it a 'passionate complaint to One who will heed his words.' This provides a powerful example for believers: when your message or service is rejected by people, you can confidently turn to God, who always listens.
