“Then the Lord said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.”
The proclamation to all Israel: 'The LORD said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Listen to the terms of this covenant and follow them."' This verse commands Jeremiah to proclaim the covenant and its terms 'in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem.' The command to 'listen to the terms...and follow them' indicates that obedience is expected. Theologically, this verse indicates that Jeremiah's role includes calling the people back to covenant fidelity.
