This highlights the importance and urgency of the message, as it is meant for public hearing and response.in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem The geographical reference to Judah and Jerusalem indicates the specific audience of the prophecy. Judah was the southern kingdom, and Jerusalem its capital, central to Jewish religious and political life. This setting underscores the widespread nature of the message, meant for all inhabitants, from rural areas to the heart of the nation.saying: Hear the words of this covenant The call to "hear" is a summons to listen and obey, a common biblical motif. The "covenant" refers to the Mosaic Covenant, which was foundational to Israel's relationship with God. This covenant included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, as outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>.and carry them out This phrase emphasizes not just hearing but also doing. The call to action reflects the biblical principle that faith is demonstrated through obedience. It echoes <a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22</a>, which urges believers to be doers of the word, not hearers only. The historical context reveals that Judah's failure to obey the covenant led to their eventual exile.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks to His prophet Jeremiah. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> The prophet chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 3. <a href="/topical/c/cities_of_judah.htm">Cities of Judah</a> The southern kingdom of Israel, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, where Jeremiah is instructed to proclaim God's message. 4. <a href="/topical/s/streets_of_jerusalem.htm">Streets of Jerusalem</a> The capital city of Judah, representing the heart of the nation's religious and political life. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_covenant.htm">The Covenant</a> Refers to the Mosaic Covenant, which includes the laws and commandments given by God to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_proclamation.htm">The Importance of Proclamation</a> God commands His word to be proclaimed publicly, emphasizing the need for His truth to be heard by all. <a href="/topical/h/hearing_and_obedience.htm">Hearing and Obedience</a> The call to "hear" and "carry out" the words of the covenant underscores the necessity of not just listening but also acting on God's commands. <a href="/topical/c/covenant_faithfulness.htm">Covenant Faithfulness</a> The covenant relationship requires faithfulness and obedience from God's people, reminding us of our commitment to God's word. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_prophet.htm">The Role of the Prophet</a> Jeremiah's role as a prophet highlights the responsibility of God's messengers to faithfully deliver His message, regardless of the audience's response. <a href="/topical/a/application_to_modern_believers.htm">Application to Modern Believers</a> Just as the people of Judah were called to hear and obey, modern believers are called to live out the teachings of Scripture in their daily lives.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_11.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 11</a> <a href="/q/why_does_god_punish_repeated_sins.htm">Jeremiah 11:6–8: Why would a just and loving deity repeatedly punish His people for sins He knows they will keep committing? </a> <a href="/q/what_does_'new_birth'_mean.htm">Who was the biblical prophet Micah?</a> <a href="/q/is_vaping_considered_sinful.htm">Who were Josiah's sons?</a> <a href="/q/key_events_in_jeremiah's_life.htm">What are the key events in Jeremiah's life?</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>(6) In the cities of Judah . . .--It is, at least, probable that the words are to be taken literally, and that the prophet went from city to city, doing his work as a preacher of repentance, and taking the new-found book of Deuteronomy as his text.
