This is the word
The phrase "This is the word" signifies a divine communication, a message directly from God. In Hebrew, the term for "word" is "dabar," which implies not just a spoken word but an active, dynamic force. It is a reminder that God's word is living and powerful, as seen throughout Scripture. This phrase sets the tone for the authority and seriousness of the message that follows, emphasizing that it is not merely human opinion but divine revelation.

that came to Jeremiah
The phrase "that came to Jeremiah" indicates the personal nature of God's communication. Jeremiah, whose name means "Yahweh exalts," was chosen as a prophet to deliver God's messages to the people of Judah. This highlights the intimate relationship between God and His prophets, where God entrusts His words to specific individuals. Historically, Jeremiah's ministry occurred during a tumultuous period in Judah's history, around the late 7th and early 6th centuries BC, a time of political upheaval and spiritual decline.

from the LORD
"From the LORD" underscores the source of the message. The term "LORD" in Hebrew is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. This phrase assures the reader of the divine origin and authority of the message. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His active involvement in the affairs of His people, calling them back to faithfulness.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message. It is a common biblical term that signals the beginning of a prophetic utterance. In the context of Jeremiah, it often precedes a call to repentance or a warning of impending judgment. This word serves as a transition from the introduction to the substance of God's communication, inviting the audience to listen attentively to what God has to say through His prophet.

VII.

(1) This chapter and the three that follow form again another great prophetic sermon, delivered to the crowds that flocked to the Temple. There is nothing in the discourse which absolutely fixes its date, but the description of idolatry, as prevalent, and, possibly, the reference to the presence of the Chaldaean invader in Jeremiah 8:16; Jeremiah 10:22, fit in rather with the reign of Jehoiakim than with that of Josiah; and from the special reference to Shiloh in Jeremiah 26:6; Jeremiah 26:9, as occurring in a prophecy delivered at the beginning of that reign, it was probably this discourse, or one like it, and delivered about the same time, that drew down that king's displeasure (see Jeremiah 7:14). . . .

Verses 1-7. - The Divine requirements and the corresponding promise.
