Study note
Setting — In Jerusalem, Jeremiah the prophet delivers the preceding divine pronouncements directly to Zedekiah, the reigning king of Judah.
The words — וַ/יְדַבֵּר (va/y.da.Ber) denotes the action of speaking, while אֵ֛ת ('et) functions as a direct object marker attached to the preceding phrase "all these words."
The thread — This structural pattern of a prophet relaying a message to a royal figure appears in 2 Samuel 12:7, where Nathan addresses David, and in 1 Samuel 15:16, where Samuel speaks to Saul.
Why it lands — The verse establishes the prophet’s official role as the conduit for royal accountability, requiring the reader to recognize that divine pronouncements are delivered through appointed messengers to those in authority.
