“Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.”
The call to hear: 'Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the LORD.' This verse addresses those coming to worship in the temple, inviting them to 'hear the word of the LORD.' The phrase 'all you people of Judah' indicates a broad audience. Theologically, this verse transforms the temple entrance into a place of prophetic proclamation: the people who come to worship are confronted with the prophet's challenging message.
