The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:5

The oath which I have sworn (so Deuteronomy 7:8 ; comp. Deuteronomy 8:18 ). As it is this day ; a Deuteronomic formula (see e.g. Deuteronomy 2:30 ; Deuteronomy 4:20 ), appealing to the test of experience. So be it, O Lord . The-Hebrew has "Amen, Jehovah." "Amen" equivalent to "true, faithful, trustworthy;" or used in this way as a formula of asseveration, "may it be verified by facts"; comp. Jeremiah 28:6 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 11:5

The response of the spiritual conscience to the words of God. "And I said, Amen, Jehovah." This expression, uttered by Jeremiah with apparent originality, is really an echo of Deuteronomy 27:15 . There it expresses the agreement of the whole congregation of Israel: here it is the word of one mouth. The adoption by the prophet, at this juncture, of words so solemnly significant is very impressive. One stands sponsor for many; a righteous and earnest man for a nation of callous... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 11:4

From the iron furnace - Rather, out of “the iron furnace,” Egypt (see Deuteronomy 4:20). The constant reference to Deuteronomy shows how great had been the effect upon Jeremiah’s mind of the public recitation of the “Book of the covenant” found in the temple. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 11:5

Whether the promised land would permanently remain the property of the Jews would depend upon their observance of their part of the covenant.So be it, O Lord - Or, “Amen, Yahweh.” The prophet was literally obeying the command given in Deuteronomy 27:14-26, and the same word should be kept in both places. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 11:2-5

Jeremiah 11:2-5. Hear ye the words of this covenant God speaks here chiefly to Jeremiah, but seems, at the same time, to address, together with him, all those pious persons who were like-minded with him, and who reproved the wicked manners of the people. The covenant here spoken of was the covenant of the law of God, delivered by Moses, to which the people had frequently promised obedience. And speak unto the men of Judah, &c. Lay the tenor of the covenant before them; and say,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-17

The broken covenant (11:1-17)God had made a covenant with Israel after the people came out of Egypt, assuring them of blessing if they obeyed his law and punishment if they disobeyed. God now tells Jeremiah to remind the people of these conditions of the covenant (11:1-5). Past lessons should be a warning to them that unless they change their ways, they are heading for disaster (6-8). However, the people prefer to ignore the warnings. Like their forefathers they rebel against God and follow... read more

"Furnace" expresses the searching ordeal; "iron," the long duration of it. The furnace was of earth, not of iron (1 Kings 8:51- :); a furnace, in heat and duration enough to melt even iron.
