Jeremiah 25:4

Context
25:4 Over and over again 1  the Lord has sent 2  his servants the prophets to you. But you have not listened or paid attention. 3 

1 tn For the idiom involved here see the notes at 7:13 and 11:7.

2 tn The vav consecutive with the perfect in a past narrative is a little unusual. Here it is probably indicating repeated action in past time in keeping with the idiom that precedes and follows it. See GKC 332 §112.f for other possible examples.

3 tn Heb “inclined your ear to hear.” This is idiomatic for “paying attention.” It is often parallel with “listen” as here or with “pay attention” (see, e.g., Prov 4:20; 51:1).
