Jeremiah 9:13

9:13 The Lord answered, “This has happened because these people have rejected my laws which I gave them. They have not obeyed me or followed those laws. ¹ 

Jeremiah 11:7

11:7 For I solemnly warned your ancestors to obey me. ²  I warned them again and again, ³  ever since I delivered them out of Egypt until this very day.

Jeremiah 18:10

18:10 But if that nation does what displeases me and does not obey me, then I will cancel the good I promised to do to it.

Jeremiah 22:21

22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. ⁴ 

But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. ⁵ 

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

¹ tn Heb “and they have not walked in it (with “it” referring to “my law”).

² tn Heb “warned them…saying, ‘Obey me.’” However, it allows the long sentence to be broken up easier if the indirect quote is used.

³ tn For the explanation for this rendering see the note on 7:13.

³ tn Heb “I spoke to you in your security.” The reference is to the sending of the prophets. Compare this context with the context of 7:25. For the nuance “security” for this noun (שַׁלְוָה, shalvah) rather than “prosperity” as many translate see Pss 122:7; 30:6 and the related adjective (שָׁלֵו, shalev) in Jer 49:31; Job 16:2; 21:23.

⁴ tn Heb “from your youth.” Compare the usage in 2:2; 3:24 and compare a similar idea in 7:25.
