Study note
Setting — Jeremiah addresses the entire community immediately after concluding a full prophetic declaration regarding their refusal to relocate to Egypt.
The words — The Hebrew כַּלּוֹת (ka.Lot, H3615) renders a completed action meaning "when he had finished," framing the narrative pivot. The conjunction וַ/יְהִי (va/y.Hi, H1961) functions as a standard narrative marker translating "and it was" or "then."
The thread — This structural formula of concluding a prophetic speech appears in Jeremiah 26:8 and Jeremiah 51:63, while Jeremiah 42:22 records the immediate consequence of the rejected message.
Why it lands — The verse demands attention to the precise moment a divine message is fully delivered before human rejection begins, establishing a clear boundary between prophecy and response.
