And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
Hear ye the word of the Lord - the scene of their guilt is chosen as the scene of the denunciation against them.
Kings - the king and queen (Jeremiah 13:18): or including the king's counselors and governors under him.
Tingle - as if struck by a thunder-peal (1 Samuel 3:11; Jeremiah quotes and re-affirms God's denunciation given in Manasseh's reign; 2 Kings 21:12).
