Notes

Jeremiah 11:18–19

The Lord warned Jeremiah during his commissioning (Jeremiah 1:19) that opposition would threaten his life. Jeremiah felt like a lamb led to slaughter, powerless to resist. This opposition happened before Jeremiah's trial in the Temple courtyard, early in Jehoiakim's reign (between 608 and 605 BC; see Jeremiah 26). Some scholars think this verse foreshadows Christ's death, similar to the suffering servant in Isaiah 53:7.

Jeremiah 11:18–23

The Lord warned Jeremiah about the plans against him. Jeremiah prayed, and the Lord promised to save him.
