2 Chronicles 33 . 10 , 2 Chronicles 36 . 15 , Nehemiah 9 . 26 , Nehemiah 9 . 30 , Matthew 23 . 34-37 , In the following #### Verses the doom of Judah and Jerusalem is passed , and it is a heavy doom. The prophets were sent in the first place to teach them the knowledge of God , to remind them of their duty , and direct them in it . if they succeeded not in that , their next work was to reprove them for their sins , and to set them in view before them , that they might repent and reform , and return to their duty . if in this they prevailed not , their next work was to foretell the judgments of God , that the terror of them might awaken to repentance those who would not be made sensible of the obligations of his love; or else that the execution of them , in their season , might be a demonstration of the divine mission of the prophets who foretold them. They were made judges to those who would not hear and receive them as teachers. . Henry.
