Clarke's Jeremiah 7:28 Bible Commentary
Nor receiveth correction - They have profited neither by mercies nor by judgments: blessings and corrections have been equally lost upon them.
Barnes's Jeremiah 7:28 Bible Commentary
A nation - The "nation." Israel holds so unique a position among all nations that for it to disobey God is marvelous.
Truth ... - Fidelity to God. Though they have the name of Yahweh often upon their lips and swear by Him Jeremiah 5:2, yet it is only profession without practice.
Wesley's Jeremiah 7:28 Bible Commentary
7:28 Cut off - There is no believing them in any thing they say.
