Just remember how I stood before you

pleading on their behalf

to keep you from venting your anger on them.

Jeremiah 22:21

But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

so they could see and hear what he has to say?

Which of them have ever paid attention or listened to what he has said?
