Jeremiah 19:15

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
13

And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.

14

Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord’s house; and said to all the people,

15

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse speaks of "evil" and "hardened necks" in a way that could be interpreted metaphorically for spiritual consequences, the phrase "bring upon this city and upon all her towns" strongly implies a concrete, physical, and thus literal fulfillment of the pronouncements.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

The verse describes the content of a prophetic message (divine judgment) and the reason for it (disobedience), but it does not describe *how* that message was communicated to the prophet. The phrase "Thus saith the Lord" indicates the source of the message, not the method of its reception by Jeremiah.
