“Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.”
Jeremiah's statement that the LORD sent him to prophesy against the house and the city reasserts the divine origin of his message. The reiteration of the message before the officials shows no backing down or softening. The claim of divine sending reasserts authority despite the opposition. The verse shows Jeremiah's faithful response to the threatened execution: repeating the claim of divine origin. The courage to maintain the claim under threat shows the strength of his conviction.
