In that day shall fiue cities in the lande of Egypt speake the language of Chanaan, and sweare by the Lorde of hoastes: the citie of desolation shalbe called one of them.
And then will I clense the lippes of the people, that they may euery one call vpon the name of the Lorde, and serue him with one consent.
When this was noysed about, the multitude came together and were astonnyed, because that euery man hearde them speake with his owne language.
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.
