Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord said to Jeremiah: ² "Hear the terms of the covenant I made with Israel and pass them on to the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem. ³ Tell them that the Lord , the God of Israel, says, ‘Anyone who does not keep the terms of the covenant will be under a curse. ⁴ Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors to keep when I brought them out of Egypt, that place which was like an iron-smelting furnace. I said at that time, "Obey me and carry out the terms of the agreement exactly as I commanded you. If you do, you will be my people and I will be your God. ⁵ Then I will keep the promise I swore on oath to your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey." That is the very land that you still live in today.'" And I responded, "Amen! Let it be so, Lord !" ⁶ The Lord said to me, "Announce all the following words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: ‘Listen to the terms of my covenant with you and carry them out! ⁷ For I solemnly warned your ancestors to obey me. I warned them again and again, ever since I delivered them out of Egypt until this very day. ⁸ But they did not listen to me or pay any attention to me! Each one of them followed the stubborn inclinations of his own wicked heart. So I brought on them all the punishments threatened in the covenant because they did not carry out its terms as I commanded them to do.'" ⁹ The Lord said to me, "The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem have plotted rebellion against me! ¹⁰ They have gone back to the evil ways of their ancestors of old who refused to obey what I told them. They, too, have paid allegiance to other gods and worshiped them. Both the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah have violated the covenant I made with their ancestors.

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.
