The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Imagine the tension and stress Jeremiah must have experienced. His task was to see to it that a stiff-necked people had been warned, admonished to obey the Lord. God knew they would not obey, and He told Jeremiah they would not obey.
Here we find the preacher, speaking the Word of the Lord to tell them they had been admonished that day. The Hebrew word means something like duplicated. In other words, they had heard this message again and again.
“Know for certain - you’ve been reminded. You’ve been warned.”
Sometimes the best we can do, the most we can do, is tell people what God said one more time. In the face of stubbornness and resistance, our duty remains to faithfully proclaim the truth, even if it falls on deaf ears.
