And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, etc.] Not only him, but many others, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and others: rising early and sending [them]; not only the prophet, but the Lord himself is said to rise early, and send his prophets to them; which denotes his great care and concern for this people for their good; (see <240725>Jeremiah 7:25); but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear; which is an aggravation of their sin; that whereas they had one prophet after another sent to them, and sent by the Lord himself; he rising early, and sending them; and they rising early, being sent to do their message; and yet were not hearkened and attended to.
