Jeremiah 22:21
21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. ▼▼ 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; 21:23.
But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”
That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. ▼
Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.
