Notes

Jeremiah 11:15

The people followed the words and ceremonies God required, but their worship was insincere. They did not love God or their neighbors.

Jeremiah 11:1–17

The Lord reminded Jeremiah of several messages (Exodus 19:5) that had formed the foundation of the relationship between the Lord and Israel for many centuries. Since the kingdom of Judah was the last part of Israel, its people were the ones facing judgment before the Lord. This likely happened during King Jehoiakim's reign.
