Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 26:6

Commentary on Jeremiah 26:1-6

(Read Jeremiah 26:1-6)

God's ambassadors must not seek to please men, or to save themselves from harm. See how God waits to be gracious. If they persisted in disobedience, it would ruin their city and temple. Can any thing else be expected? Those who will not be subject to the commands of God, make themselves subject to the curse of God.
