Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-23

CHAPTER VIITHE BROKEN COVENANTJeremiah 11:1-23 and Jeremiah 12:1-17THERE is no visible break between these two chapters. They seem to summarise the history of a particular episode in the prophet’s career. At the same time, the style is so peculiar that it is not so easy as it might appear at a first glance to determine exactly what it is that the section has to tell us. When we come to take a closer look at it, we find a thoroughly characteristic mixture of direct narrative and soliloquy, of... read more

CHAPTER 11 The Broken Covenant and the Plot Against Jeremiah 1. The broken covenant (Jeremiah 11:1-17 ) 2. The plot revealed and Jehovah’s answer (Jeremiah 11:18-23 ) Jeremiah 11:1-17 . Jehovah had made a covenant with His people. He tells the prophet about it and the responsibility which was connected with that covenant. They were to obey His voice. Then should they be His people and He their God. And of this covenant it was written, “Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-23

PERSECUTED IN HIS HOME TOWN The length of this lesson may alarm, but preparation for it only requires the reading of the chapters two or three times. One who has gone through Isaiah will soon catch the drift of the Spirit’s teaching and be able to break up the chapters into separate discourses and the discourses into their various themes. The main object of the lesson is to dwell on the prophet’s personal experience in his home town which is reached in the closing chapters. It is thought... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 11:18-23

Poor Jeremiah's preaching brought upon him constant hatred and persecution. It hath done so to all faithful preachers in all ages of the Church, and ever must, and will. So Jesus taught his disciples to expect, and so they have always found. John 15:18-21 . Mark, how the Lord, in the close of the Chapter, sums up the subject, by taking the cause into his own hand. Luke 10:1-12 . Reader! do not overlook a greater than Jeremiah here. Isaiah 53:7 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 11:18

Shewedst me. He insinuates that something more than what appears must be understood. (Theodoret) --- All Christians explain what follows of Jesus Christ, (St. Jerome; Worthington) whom Jeremias prefigured in his sufferings. (Calmet) --- "Let us follow the rule which shews that all the prophets did most things for a type of our Lord and Saviour; and what was now done by Jeremias, foreshewed what would happen to our Lord." (St. Jerome) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 11:18-23

18-23 The prophet Jeremiah tells much concerning himself, the times he lived in being very troublesome. Those of his own city plotted how they might cause his death. They thought to end his days, but he outlived most of his enemies; they thought to blast his memory, but it lives to this day, and will be blessed while time lasts. God knows all the secret designs of his and his people's enemies, and can, when he pleases, make them known. God's justice is a terror to the wicked, but a comfort to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 11:9-23

Israel's Conspiracy Against the Lord and its Punishment v. 9. And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, a plot in opposition to Jehovah and to the demands of right and duty, the entire nation being involved in this wickedness. v. 10. They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, by which Israelites of the former generations heaped guilt upon themselves, which refused to hear My words, deliberately combining... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 11:1-23

4. FOURTH DISCOURSE(Jeremiah 11-12)With An Appendix. Chap. 13The three chapters 11–13 are headed in common by a longer superscription (Jeremiah 11:1) such as those with which Jeremiah is accustomed to introduce the greater sections. A similar one occurs again in Jeremiah 14:1. But chaps. 11 and 12 only form a connected whole, as will hereafter be shown. In the passage Jeremiah 12:14, where the prophet speaks of the wicked neighbors by which the inheritance of Israel was assailed, an allusion... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 11:1-20

the Penalty of a Broken Covenant Jeremiah 11:1-20 This and the following two chapters belong to the earlier ministry of Jeremiah, when he still dwelt in his native home of Anathoth. The prophet refers to the covenant which had been lately renewed by Josiah, 2 Kings 22:1-20 and 2 Kings 23:1-37 , and quotes largely from the book of Deuteronomy, which had been recently read in the hearing of the people. To that covenant the prophet reverently gives his endorsement, Jeremiah 11:5 . His amen... read more
