Contextual Overview
1 This message came from the Lord soon after Jehoiakim son of Josiah became king of Judah. 2 This is what the Lord said: "Jeremiah, stand in the courtyard of the Temple of the Lord . Give this message to all the people of the towns of Judah who are coming to worship at the Temple of the Lord . Tell them everything I tell you to say; don't leave out a word. 3 Maybe they will listen and stop their evil ways. If they will, I will change my mind about bringing on them the disaster that I am planning because of the evil they have done. 4 Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord says: You must obey me and follow my teachings that I gave you. 5 You must listen to what my servants the prophets say to you. I have sent them to you again and again, but you did not listen. 6 If you don't obey me, I will destroy my Temple in Jerusalem as I destroyed my Holy Tent at Shiloh. When I do, people all over the world will curse Jerusalem.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt say unto them,.... What follows is the substance of the prophecy, and the sum of the sermon or discourse he was sent to deliver, without diminishing a word of it:
thus saith the Lord, if ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you; first by Moses, by whose hands it was given to their fathers; and by the prophets, the interpreters of it to them; before whom it was set as a way for them to walk in, and a rule to walk by; a directory for them in their lives and conversations; and which continues to be so, as it is set before us Christians by our King and Lawgiver Jesus Christ; though not to obtain righteousness and life by the works of it; which should not be sought for, nor are attainable thereby.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 26:4. If ye will not hearken — This and several of the following verses are nearly the same with those in Jeremiah 7:13, &c., where see the notes.
