Jeremiah 6:18

"I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’"

Key Reflection

In Jeremiah 6:18, God sets watchmen to warn the people, symbolizing the prophets calling for repentance and obedience. However, the people's refusal to heed these warnings underscores their stubborn disobedience and rejection of divine guidance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

God summons three witnesses to hear His sentence. (1) the Gentiles. (2) all mankind, Jews and Gentiles. (3) nature (seeJeremiah 6:19). What is among them -Rather, “what happens” in them; i. e., “Know what great things I will do to them.”
