Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:4 - which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Listen to My voice, and [fn]do according to all which I command you; so you shall be My people, and I will be your God,’

Then Yahweh said to me, “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:10 - “They have turned back to the iniquities of their [fn]ancestors who refused to hear My words, and they have walked after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I cut with their fathers.”

When she has done many schemes of wickedness?

[fn]So that you can exult?”

“A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;

With the noise of a great tumult

He has kindled fire on it,

And its foliage has an evil demise.

Yahweh of hosts, who planted you, has spoken forth evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have [fn]done to provoke Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.

Moreover, Yahweh made it known to me, and I knew it;

Then You showed me their deeds.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:19 -

But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;

And I did not know that they had devised thoughts against me, saying,

“Let us make the tree with its [fn]fruit a ruin,

And let us cut him off from the land of the living,

That his name be remembered no more.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:20 -

But, O Yahweh of hosts, who judges righteously,

Who tests the [fn]insides and the heart,

Let me see Your vengeance on them,

For to You have I revealed my case.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:22 - therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, I am about to punish them! The choice men will die by the sword; their sons and daughters will die by famine;
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:23 - and a remnant will not be left to them, for I will bring calamity on the men of Anathoth—the year of their punishment.”
