Commentary on Jeremiah 35:13

Theological / Devotional

Lord of hosts. See on ch. 7:3.

Receive instruction. In striking contrast to the Rechabites, who had persisted faithfully for centuries in obeying the rule of their father, Jonadab, “the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,” though purporting to be the children of God, persistently refused “to hearken” to divine counsel (see on chs. 7:13).
