Jeremiah 44:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 44:11

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
&c.] Because of these sins of idolatry, impenitence, and disobedience: I will set my face against you for evil;
to bring the evil of punishment upon them, for the evil of sin committed by them: this the Lord determined with himself, and resolved to do; which the phrase, "setting [his] face against [them]", is expressive of, by way of retaliation for their setting their faces to go down to Egypt, as well as of his wrath and indignation against them: and to cut off all Judah;
not the whole tribe of Judah; not those that were in Babylon, which were by far the greatest number of that tribe; but those that were in Egypt.

Jeremiah 44:11 In-Context

9 Have you forgotten the wicked things done by your ancestors, by the kings of Judah and their wives, and by you and your wives in Judah and on the streets of Jerusalem?

10 You have not humbled yourselves even to this day. You haven't feared me or lived your lives by my teachings or by my decrees that I gave your ancestors.

11 This is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to bring disaster on you and destroy all of Judah.

12 I will take away from Judah those who are left, those who were determined to go to live in Egypt. They will die in Egypt. All of them, from the least important to the most important, will die in wars or be brought to an end by famines. They will become something cursed, ridiculed, and disgraced.

13 I will punish those living in Egypt as I punished Jerusalem with wars, famines, and plagues.
