Yeremia 11:10-23

11:10 They have gone back to the evil ways ¹  of their ancestors of old who refused to obey what I told them. They, too, have paid allegiance to ²  other gods and worshiped them. Both the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah ³  have violated the covenant I made with their ancestors. 11:11 So I, the Lord, say this: ⁴  ‘I will soon bring disaster on them which they will not be able to escape! When they cry out to me for help, I will not listen to them. 11:12 Then those living in the towns of Judah and in Jerusalem will ⁵  go and cry out for help to the gods to whom they have been sacrificing. However, those gods will by no means ⁶  be able to save them when disaster strikes them. 11:13 This is in spite of the fact that ⁷  the people of Judah have as many gods as they have towns ⁸  and the citizens of Jerusalem have set up as many altars to sacrifice to that disgusting god, Baal, as they have streets in the city!’ ⁹  11:14 So, Jeremiah, ¹⁰  do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with me to save them. ¹¹  For I will not listen to them when they call out to me for help when disaster strikes them.” ¹² 

11:15 The Lord says to the people of Judah, ¹³ 

“What right do you have to be in my temple, my beloved people? ¹⁴ 

Many of you have done wicked things. ¹⁵ 

Can your acts of treachery be so easily canceled by sacred offerings ¹⁶ 

that you take joy in doing evil even while you make them? ¹⁷ 

11:16 I, the Lord, once called ¹⁸  you a thriving olive tree,

one that produced beautiful fruit.

But I will set you ¹⁹  on fire,

fire that will blaze with a mighty roar. ²⁰ 

Then all your branches will be good for nothing. ²¹ 

11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over all, ²²  planted you in the land, ²³ 

I now decree that disaster will come on you ²⁴ 

because the nations of Israel and Judah have done evil

and have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal.” ²⁵ 

A Plot Against Jeremiah is Revealed and He Complains of Injustice

11:18 The Lord gave me knowledge, that I might have understanding. ²⁶ 

Then he showed me what the people were doing. ²⁷ 

11:19 Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter.

I did not know they were making plans to kill me. ²⁸ 

I did not know they were saying, ²⁹ 

“Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! ³⁰ 

Let’s remove Jeremiah ³¹  from the world of the living

so people will not even be reminded of him any more.” ³² 

11:20 So I said to the Lord, ³³ 

“O Lord who rules over all, ³⁴  you are a just judge!

You examine people’s hearts and minds. ³⁵ 

I want to see you pay them back for what they have done

because I trust you to vindicate my cause.” ³⁶ 

11:21 Then the Lord told me about ³⁷  some men from Anathoth ³⁸  who were threatening to kill me. ³⁹  They had threatened, ⁴⁰  “Stop prophesying in the name of the Lord or we will kill you!” ⁴¹  11:22 So the Lord who rules over all ⁴²  said, “I will surely ⁴³  punish them! Their young men will be killed in battle. ⁴⁴  Their sons and daughters will die of starvation. 11:23 Not one of them will survive. ⁴⁵  I will bring disaster on those men from Anathoth who threatened you. ⁴⁶  A day of reckoning is coming for them.” ⁴⁷
