Notes

Jeremiah 11:9–10

conspiracy: The word suggests "betrayal" or "treason" (compare 2 Kings 11:14).
Judah and Jerusalem would stop worshiping the Redeemer God and start worshiping other gods. Both Israel (likely referring to the ten northern tribes) and Judah had broken the 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.
