Quick answer
Jeremiah calls all the people, especially the women, to hear God's word once more. He continues to declare the Lord's message despite their resistance.
Overview
Undeterred by rejection, Jeremiah summons all Judah in Egypt, including the women involved in idolatry, to listen to Yahweh. His persistence reflects God's faithfulness in continuing to address even a hardened people. This relentless offering of God's word, even to those who refuse it, mirrors the patient grace ultimately shown in Christ, who calls sinners to hear and live.
