What Does Jeremiah 34:12 Mean?
The broken covenant triggers a new divine message. God responds to the people's infidelity with another word through the prophet. The repetition of 'the word of the LORD came...from the LORD' emphasizes the divine origin and authority of what follows.
God's response is not silence or indifference. The reversal of the covenant demands a response, and it comes through the prophet. The people who broke their word to God will now hear God's word to them.
