THE MESSAGE
Then Jeremiah spoke up, confronting the men and the women, all the people who had answered so insolently. He said, "The sacrifices that you and your parents, your kings, your government officials, and the common people of the land offered up in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem—don't you think God noticed? He noticed, all right. And he got fed up. Finally, he couldn't take your evil behavior and your disgusting acts any longer. Your land became a wasteland, a death valley, a horror story, a ghost town. And it continues to be just that. This doom has come upon you because you kept offering all those sacrifices, and you sinned against God ! You refused to listen to him, wouldn't live the way he directed, ignored the covenant conditions."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and women—even to all the people who were giving him such an answer—saying,

Contextual Overview

20 Then Yirmeyahu said to all the people — to the men, the women, and all the people who had answered him back: 21 "The incense you offered in the cities of Y'hudah and in the streets of Yerushalayim — you, your ancestors, your kings, your leaders and the people of the land — Adonai kept remembering and taking note of this [insult], 22 until Adonai could no longer bear it, so evil and so detestable were your deeds. This is why your land has become a wasteland, an object for astonishment and cursing, uninhabited, as it is today. 23 It is because you offered incense, sinned against Adonai , didn't listen to what Adonai said, and didn't live by his Torah, regulations and instructions that this disaster has befallen you, as it is today." 24 In addition, Yirmeyahu said to all the people, but especially the women: "Hear the word of Adonai , all Y'hudah who are in the land of Egypt; 25 this is what Adonai -Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: ‘You and your wives stated your intentions with your mouths and performed them with your hands — you said, "We will certainly fulfill our vows that we made to offer incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her."' Without doubt, you will indeed fulfill every point of your vows. 26 Therefore hear the word of Adonai , all Y'hudah living in the land of Egypt: ‘I swear by my own great name,' says Adonai , ‘that no man of Y'hudah will speak my name again in the land of Egypt, swearing, "As Adonai , God, lives." 27 I am watching over them for harm, not for good. All the men of Y'hudah in the land of Egypt will be destroyed by sword and famine, until none of them is left. 28 Those who escape the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Y'hudah few in number; and all the remnant of Y'hudah who went into the land of Egypt to live will know whose word will stand — mine or theirs! 29 Moreover, here is a sign for you,' says Adonai , ‘that I will punish you in this place, so that you can know that my threats of disaster against you will come true.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Jeremiah said unto all the people,.... Immediately, being influenced, directed, and assisted by the Spirit of God; though what he says, in Jeremiah 44:21; he does not declare as coming from the Lord; but what was upon his mind, and was a full refutation of all that had been said: and which he delivered

to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him [that] answer; in which they all agreed, though delivered by one; and to which he made a reply:

saying; as follows:
