The people asked Jeremiah for the Lord’s guidance but they had no intent to obey. They had already determined to go to Egypt (Jer 42:5ff). Likewise, the people loved to hear Ezekiel preach because he was entertaining to them. They were insincere in their search for the Lord (Ezk 33:31ff). How did the prophets react? They kept on preaching. They were faithful to what God had called them to do regardless of the people’s response. They followed the Lord despite personal hardship. One was exiled in Egypt, the other in Babylon, but the prophets continued to preach.
