Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken - certain of the Jews, especially those who spoke with Jeremiah in the court of the prison (Jeremiah 32:12; Jeremiah 38:1).
The two families - Judah and Israel.
Thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them - in their judgment. They suppose that I have utterly cast off Israel, so as to be no more a nation. The expression "my people" of itself shows God has not cast off Israel forever.
