In the context of the Old Testament, prophets were often chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people. Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," frequently received such revelations. This underscores the personal relationship between God and His prophets, as seen in other instances like Moses (<a href="/exodus/3-4.htm">Exodus 3:4</a>) and Isaiah (<a href="/isaiah/6-8.htm">Isaiah 6:8</a>).<p><b>There is a conspiracy</b><br>The term "conspiracy" suggests a secret plan or agreement to do something unlawful or harmful. In the biblical context, this refers to the spiritual and political rebellion against God’s covenant. Historically, Judah was often tempted to form alliances with surrounding nations, contrary to God’s commands (<a href="/isaiah/30.htm">Isaiah 30:1-2</a>). This conspiracy can also be seen as a type of the ultimate rebellion against God, which is sin.<p><b>among the men of Judah</b><br>Judah was the southern kingdom, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, after the division of Israel. The men of Judah were expected to uphold the covenant with God, as they were the lineage through which the Messiah was prophesied to come (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>). Their rebellion is significant because it represents a failure to live up to their calling as God’s chosen people.<p><b>and the residents of Jerusalem</b><br>Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, was the spiritual and political center of the Jewish people. It housed the Temple, the focal point of Jewish worship. The mention of Jerusalem highlights the gravity of the conspiracy, as it involves not just the general populace but also those in the city where God’s presence was most intimately known. This echoes Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>), where He mourns the city’s rejection of God’s messengers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who communicates His will and judgments through the prophets.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>The prophet chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah, often involving calls to repentance and warnings of impending judgment.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/men_of_judah.htm">Men of Judah</a></b><br>The inhabitants of the southern kingdom of Judah, who are part of the covenant community but have turned away from God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/r/residents_of_jerusalem.htm">Residents of Jerusalem</a></b><br>The people living in the capital city of Judah, who are central to the religious and political life of the nation.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/conspiracy.htm">Conspiracy</a></b><br>A secret plan or agreement to do something unlawful or harmful, in this context, a spiritual rebellion against God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_rebellion.htm">Understanding Rebellion</a></b><br>Recognize that rebellion against God can take the form of a "conspiracy," where individuals collectively turn away from His commands.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/covenant_faithfulness.htm">Covenant Faithfulness</a></b><br>Emphasize the importance of remaining faithful to God's covenant, as outlined in the Scriptures, and the consequences of failing to do so.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_the_prophet.htm">Role of the Prophet</a></b><br>Appreciate the role of prophets like Jeremiah, who are called to speak truth to power and call God's people back to righteousness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_vigilance.htm">Spiritual Vigilance</a></b><br>Encourage believers to be vigilant against spiritual conspiracies in their own lives, where subtle compromises can lead to significant departures from God's will.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_accountability.htm">Community Accountability</a></b><br>Highlight the need for accountability within the Christian community to prevent collective rebellion against God's Word.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_11.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 11</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_of_judah-israel_conspiracy.htm">Jeremiah 11:9–10: Is there archaeological or historical evidence of a widespread “conspiracy” among Judah and Israel during Jeremiah’s time? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_threats_to_jeremiah_align_with_divine_protection.htm">Jeremiah 11:18-23: How do these threats on Jeremiah's life align with the idea of divine protection for those who follow God's will?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_zech._1_12's_70_years_align_historically.htm">Is there any corroborating evidence for the 70-year period mentioned in Zechariah 1:12, or does it conflict with known historical timelines?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_daniel_9_1-2_fit_70-year_exile.htm">How do we reconcile Daniel 9:1-2's reference to Jeremiah's seventy years with the actual duration of the Babylonian exile?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">A conspiracy.</span>--The words explain the rapid apostasy that followed on the death of Josiah.
