The word of the LORD
This phrase signifies a divine communication, emphasizing the authority and sacredness of the message. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just a spoken word but an active, dynamic force. The "LORD" is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, highlighting His eternal and unchanging nature. This introduction assures the reader of the divine origin and reliability of the message that follows.

came to Jeremiah
The verb "came" suggests an active movement from God to the prophet, indicating that Jeremiah is a chosen vessel for divine revelation. Jeremiah, whose name means "Yahweh exalts," was a prophet during a tumultuous period in Judah's history. His role was to convey God's messages to the people, often involving themes of judgment and hope.

This is what the LORD says
This phrase is a common prophetic formula that introduces a direct quotation from God. It underscores the authority of the message, as it is not Jeremiah's own words but those of Yahweh. This formula is used throughout the prophetic books to remind the audience of the divine source of the prophecy.

You have said
Here, God is addressing the people of Judah through Jeremiah. The phrase indicates that God is aware of the people's thoughts and words, reflecting His omniscience. It sets the stage for a response to their doubts or complaints, showing that God is engaged with His people's concerns.

‘The LORD has rejected the two families
The "two families" likely refer to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, representing the divided nation of God's chosen people. The term "rejected" in Hebrew is "ma'as," which can mean to despise or refuse. This reflects the people's perception that God has abandoned them due to their sin and the resulting exile.

He had chosen.’
This phrase recalls God's election of Israel as His people, a theme central to the Old Testament. Despite their current circumstances, the notion of being "chosen" underscores God's enduring covenant with them. It serves as a reminder of their identity and God's faithfulness, even when they feel forsaken.

So they despise My people
The word "despise" in Hebrew is "bazah," meaning to hold in contempt or disdain. This reflects the surrounding nations' attitudes towards Israel and Judah, seeing them as abandoned by their God. It highlights the shame and humiliation the people feel, exacerbated by their enemies' scorn.

and no longer regard them as a nation
This phrase captures the loss of national identity and status that the people of Judah experience in exile. The term "nation" in Hebrew is "goy," often used to describe a people with a common identity and purpose. The loss of this status is a profound crisis, yet it sets the stage for God's promise of restoration and renewal, which is a recurring theme in Jeremiah's prophecies.

Verses 23-26. - The permanence of Israel as the people of God, with rulers of the house of David.
