Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 6:10

_ _ ear is uncircumcised — closed against the precepts of God by the foreskin of carnality (Leviticus 26:41; Ezekiel 44:7; Acts 7:51).

_ _ word ... reproach — (Jeremiah 20:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 6:9-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 6:10

Their ear — An uncircumcised ear, signifies the rejecting of instruction; an uncircumcised heart, an obstinate and rebellious will. They cannot — They had brought themselves under that incapacity by their obstinacy and wilfulness. A reproach — They laugh at it, and scorn it.

(k) They delight to hear vain things, and to shut up their ears to true doctrine.
