Jeremiah 25:8

Study note

Setting — Yahweh speaks through the prophet to the people of Judah, immediately following their recorded refusal to listen and their provocation of divine anger.

The words — יַ֕עַן (Ya'an) = because, אֲשֶׁ֥ר ('a.Sher) = that.

The thread — The verse links covenant disobedience to impending national ruin, forming the causal pivot between the warning in Jeremiah 25:7 and the execution of judgment in Jeremiah 25:9.

Why it lands — It demands recognition that divine declarations of consequence are grounded in prior, explicit rejection of divine instruction.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
