* The prophets.
   As Hosea, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,
   Zephaniah, and others, all of whom had denounced similar evils
   against a corrupt people.  So that they who opposed Jeremiah
   also opposed those who preceded him; and it was altogether
   unprecedented for a true prophet to promise deliverance to a
   guilty nation, without calling them to repentance.

 * prophesied.
