who have ears but do not perceive: 1

“Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant!

44:24 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the people, particularly to all the women. 11 “Listen to what the Lord has to say all you people of Judah who are in Egypt. 44:25 The Lord God of Israel who rules over all says, ‘You women 12 have confirmed by your actions what you vowed with your lips! You said, “We will certainly carry out our vows to sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.” Well, then fulfill your vows! Carry them out!’ 13 44:26 But 14 listen to what the Lord has to say, all you people of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt. The Lord says, ‘I hereby swear by my own great name that none of the people of Judah who are living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name in their oaths! Never again will any of them use it in an oath saying, “As surely as the Lord God lives….” 15
51:1 “Listen to me, you who pursue godliness, 16

at the quarry 17 from which you were dug! 18
51:2 Look at Abraham, your father,
and Sarah, who gave you birth. 19

Listen to me, my people!
For 24 I will issue a decree, 25
I will make my justice a light to the nations. 26
4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites! 27
For the Lord has a covenant lawsuit 28 against the people of Israel. 29
For there is neither faithfulness nor loyalty in the land,
nor do they acknowledge God. 30
6:1 Listen to what the Lord says:
“Get up! Defend yourself 31 before the mountains! 32
Present your case before the hills!” 33
