“Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.”
The futility for Jeremiah: 'When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer.' This verse addresses Jeremiah directly: his prophetic word will be rejected; the people will 'not listen,' will 'not answer' his call. The certainty of this rejection ('will not listen,' 'will not answer') is stated as an established fact, not a possibility. Theologically, this verse forewarns Jeremiah of the rejection he will face; his mission will not result in the people's repentance but will serve as a witness against them.
