Keep your vows!…

Then Jeremiah said
The phrase indicates a continuation of a discourse, suggesting that Jeremiah is in the midst of delivering a message from God. Jeremiah, a prophet called by God, often served as a mouthpiece for divine communication. His role was not merely to predict future events but to call the people back to covenant faithfulness. The Hebrew root for "said" (אָמַר, 'amar) implies a declaration or proclamation, emphasizing the authoritative nature of Jeremiah's message.

to all the people
This phrase underscores the inclusivity of the message. Jeremiah's audience is not limited to a select group but encompasses the entire community. The Hebrew word for "people" (עַם, 'am) often refers to a collective group bound by common identity and covenant with God. This highlights the communal responsibility and the shared consequences of their actions.

including all the women
The specific mention of women is significant, as it indicates their active participation in the events being addressed. In the historical context, women in Judah had a role in religious practices, sometimes leading to syncretism and idolatry. By addressing them directly, Jeremiah acknowledges their influence and accountability in the spiritual state of the nation.

Hear the word of the LORD
This imperative call to "hear" (שָׁמַע, shama) is more than just listening; it implies obedience and response. The "word of the LORD" signifies divine revelation, carrying the weight of authority and truth. In the biblical narrative, hearing God's word is often linked to covenant obedience and blessing, while ignoring it leads to judgment.

all you people of Judah
The phrase identifies the specific audience as the people of Judah, the southern kingdom. Historically, Judah had witnessed the fall of the northern kingdom (Israel) and was now experiencing its own crisis. The mention of Judah serves as a reminder of their covenant identity and the expectations that come with it.

who are in the land of Egypt
This locational detail is crucial, as it highlights the disobedience of the people who fled to Egypt against God's command. Egypt, historically a place of bondage, symbolizes a return to old ways and a lack of trust in God's deliverance. The presence of Judah in Egypt is a physical and spiritual exile, representing their estrangement from God's promises.

(24-28) Hear the word of the Lord . . .--The appeal to the experience of the past is followed by a prediction of the future, addressed to the wives as well as to the husbands. The new sin would lead to a new punishment. A tone of irony is perceptible in the words, "Ye will surely accomplish your vows." That, at all events, was a promise they were likely to keep, however faithless they might have shown themselves in keeping their vows to the God of their fathers. But the Lord of Israel meets that vow by another. By that "great name" (Genesis 22:16) of the Lord God (Jehovah Adonai), which they had slighted and profaned, He declares that it shall be profaned no more by the Egyptian exiles, not because they, of their own accord, would cease to use it, but because none of them should be left there. The small remnant that survived the sword and the famine should return to Judah as a witness of the judgment that had fallen on them, and of the truth of the prophet's warning. The words of Jehovah should stand, while those of men should fail.
