Jeremiah 11:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 11:11

9 And the Lord said to me, ^a“A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

10 They have turned back to ^athe iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear 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 which I made with their fathers.”

11 Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to¹ escape; and ^athough they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.

12 Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and ^acry out to the gods to whom they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

13 For according to the number of your ^acities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.

14 “So ^ado not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.

15 “What^a has My beloved to do in My house,
Having ^bdone lewd deeds with many?
And ^cthe holy flesh has passed from you.
When you do evil, then you ^drejoice.

16 The Lord called your name,
^aGreen Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit.
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire on it,
And its branches are broken.
