Notes

Jeremiah 11:6–7

Jeremiah used every way possible to spread the Lord's message to as many people as he could. As he visited each town and walked the streets of Jerusalem, he reminded the people to remember and obey the rules of the ancient covenant.

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.
