“The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,”
Jeremiah's statement that he has spoken to them repeatedly from the earliest years without their listening shows the persistence of prophetic effort despite persistent rejection. The appeal to the length of the ministry establishes that the people have had ample opportunity to repent. The failure to listen despite repeated word represents stubborn refusal. The historical retrospective establishes the people's culpability for the coming judgment.
