Commentators like John Calvin and John Gill explain that God forewarned Jeremiah of the people's rejection not to discourage him, but to prepare him. The primary call for a servant of God is obedience and faithfulness to the message, regardless of the visible outcome. This foreknowledge was meant to strengthen Jeremiah's resolve, assuring him that the lack of response was due to the people's hardness, not his failure.
