Jeremiah 7:28 - Exposition

But thou shalt say ; rather, thou shalt therefore say. A nation ; rather, the nation . "What one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself?" ( 2 Samuel 7:23 ). And yet "this is the nation that have not hearkened," etc. Truth; rather, good faith (as Jeremiah 5:1 ). Is cut off from their mouth ; i . e . their oaths to Jehovah are false oaths ( Jeremiah 5:2 ).
