Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 11:5

5. oath— (Psalms 105:9; Psalms 105:10). a land flowing with milk and honey—(See on Psalms 105:10- :). as it is this day—These are the concluding words of God to the Israelites when formerly brought out of Egypt, "Obey . . . that I may at this time make good the promise I made to your fathers, to give," &c. [MAURER]. English Version makes the words apply to Jeremiah's time, "As ye know at this time, that God's promise has been fulfilled," namely, in Israel's acquisition of Canaan. So be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 11:1-9

3. Warnings in view of present conditions 11:1-15:9This collection of warnings in view of present conditions can be divided into two parts: seven pericopes dealing with the consequences of breaking the Mosaic Covenant (chs. 11-13); and three laments describing the coming invasion (Jeremiah 14:1 to Jeremiah 15:9).The consequences of breaking the covenant chs. 11-13This section provides an explanation for God’s judgment on His people: the Judahites broke the Mosaic Covenant. It also contains two... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 11:1-17

The broken covenant 11:1-17This passage consists of five short parts (Jeremiah 11:1-17). Most scholars believe it dates from the reign of Josiah, perhaps after the discovery of the Law but before he initiated his reforms (about 621 B.C.; cf. 2 Chronicles 34:8-33). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 11:3-4

Yahweh, Israel’s God, announced a curse on any of His people who did not obey the covenant that He gave their forefathers when He liberated them from their Egyptian hardships (cf. Deuteronomy 4:20; Deuteronomy 11:28; Deuteronomy 27:26; Deuteronomy 28:15-19; Deuteronomy 29:20-21; 1 Kings 8:51; Isaiah 48:10). At that time, the Lord had commanded the Israelites to listen to His voice and to be completely obedient (cf. Exodus 19:5-6). By promising to do so, they entered into a covenant relationship... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 11:5

The Mosaic Covenant was to be the means by which God would fulfill His earlier promises to Abraham concerning the Promised Land (Genesis 12:7). Jeremiah replied, "So be it, Yahweh," a standard response to a covenant (cf. Exodus 19:8; Exodus 24:7; Deuteronomy 27:15-26). He promised to do what God had just told him to do."There’s no growth without challenge, and there’s no challenge without change. As they get older, many people resist change, forgetting that without the challenge of change,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 11:1-17

Jeremiah’s Sixth Prophecy (Reign of Josiah). The Broken Covenant entails a CurseThese chapters form a connected prophecy. They probably belong to Josiah’s time, for (a) ’the words of this covenant’ (Jeremiah 11:3) seem to refer to the reading of the newly discovered law mentioned in 2 Kings 23:3; (b) Jeremiah has not yet removed from Anathoth to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 11:21), and (c) the apparent allusion (Jeremiah 12:4) to a drought accords with similar references in prophecies belonging to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 11:5

(5) A land flowing with milk and honey.—The description appears for the first time in Exodus 3:8; Exodus 3:17. It rapidly became proverbial, and is prominent in Deuteronomy 6:3 and Joshua 5:6. It points primarily, it may be noticed, to the plenty of a pastoral rather than an agricultural people (see Note on Isaiah 7:22), and so far to the earlier rather than the later stages of the life of Israel.So be it, O Lord.—The Amen of the liturgies and litanies of Israel, brought probably into fresh... read more

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
