Contextual Overview

¹ The word that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying, ² Heare yee the words of this Couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem. ³ And say thou vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Cursed bee the man that obeyeth not the words of this Couenant, ⁴ Which I commaunded your fathers in the day that I brought them foorth out of the land of Egypt, from the yron furnace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe them, according to all which I command you: so shall yee be my people, and I will be your God. ⁵ That I may performe the othe which I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a land flowing with milke and honie, as it is this day: then answered I, and said, So bee it, O Lord. ⁶ Then the Lord said vnto me, Proclaime all these wordes in the cities of Iudah, and in the streets of Ierusalem, saying, Heare ye the words of this Couenant, and doe them. ⁷ For I earnestly protested vnto your fathers, in the day that I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt, euen vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. ⁸ Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their eare: but walked euery one in the imagination of their euill heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the words of this Couenant, which I commaunded them to doe; but they did them not. ⁹ And the Lord said vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem. ¹⁰ They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my Couenant, which I made with their fathers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying. Here seems to begin a new prophecy; but when it was, and under what reign, and what time between this and the former, is not known; however, it was from the Lord, and so to be regarded.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophecy contained in Jer. 11–12 seems to belong to an early period of Jeremiah’s life. The covenant Jeremiah 11:2 was that renewed by Josiah in his 18th year, after the discovery of the Book of the Law in the temple 2 Kings 23:3; while Jeremiah 11:13 apparently refers to the public establishment of idolatry by Manasseh Jeremiah 21:3. The people took no hearty part in Josiah’s reformation, and the prophet therefore sets before them the consequences that will inevitably fellow upon their disloyalty to their covenant-God. The prophecy was probably called forth by the conspiracy of the men of Judah and of his own relatives of Anathoth to murder Jeremiah Jeremiah 11:18-23; Jeremiah 12:1-6, for such deeds, which but too well represented the nation’s whole course, punishment must come, if unrepented of.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XI

The prophet proclaims the tenor of God's covenant with the Jews

of old, 1-5;

and then reproves them for their hereditary disobedience, 6-19.

In consequence of this the Almighty is introduced, declaring he

will show them no pity, 11-13;

forbidding Jeremiah to intercede, 14;

rejecting their sacrifices, 15;

and in a word, condemning this fair but unfruitful tree to the

fire, 16, 17.

In what remains of the chapter the prophet predicts evil to his

neighbours of Anathoth, who had conspired against him, 18-23.

"Let us," said they, "destroy this tree, with the fruit

thereof," &c., alluding to what Jeremiah had said in the

sixteenth verse.
