Jeremiah 7:25-26
25. rising . . . early— (Jer 7:13).
26. hardened . . . neck— (De 31:27; Isa 48:4; Ac 7:51).
worse than their fathers— (Jer 16:12). In Jer 7:22 He had said, "your fathers"; here He says, "their fathers"; the change to the third person marks growing alienation from them. He no longer addresses themselves, as it would be a waste of words in the case of such hardened rebels.
