Jeremiah 11:7

Lexham English Bible

Contextual Overview

¹ The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying, ² "Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the people of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, ³ and say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: "The man is cursed who does not obey the words of this covenant, ⁴ which I commanded your ancestors in the day of my bringing them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace of iron, saying, ‘Listen to my voice and do according to all that I command you, so will you be my people, and I will be your God.' ⁵ in order to keep the oath that I swore to your ancestors, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day."'" Then I answered and said, "Let it be so, O Yahweh." ⁶ And Yahweh said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant and do them, ⁷ for I solemnly admonished your ancestors in the day of my leading them out from the land of Egypt and up to this day, admonishing persistently, saying, "Obey my voice." ⁸ But they did not obey and they did not incline their ear. Instead each one walked in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore, I brought on them all the words of this covenant which I commanded them to do, and they did not do it.'" ⁹ And Yahweh said to me, "A conspiracy is found among the people of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ¹⁰ They have turned back to the iniquities of their former ancestors, who refused to obey my words, and they have gone after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant that I made with their ancestors."

the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt;

:-:

even unto this day, rising early, and protesting, saying, obey my voice; that is, from the time of the giving of the law, in all successive ages, to the present time, he had sent his prophets to them, time after time, morning by morning, early and late, to press, exhort, and stir them up to an obedience to his will, and to warn them of the evils that would come by disobedience to it.
