‏ Jeremiah 22:21

21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. ^{▼▼tn Heb “I spoke to you in your security.” The reference is to the sending of the prophets. Compare this context with the context of 7:25. For the nuance “security” for this noun (שַׁלְוָה, shalvah), rather than “prosperity” as many translate, see Pss 122:7; 30:6; and the related adjective (שָׁלֵו, shalev) in Jer 49:31; Job 16:2; and 21:23.}
But you said, ‘I refuse to listen to you.’
That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. ^{▼▼tn Heb “from your youth.” Compare the usage in 2:2 and 3:24, and see a similar idea in 7:25.}
Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.
