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 all the wicked things that have been done in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem by your ancestors, by the kings of Judah and their wives, and by you and your wives?

10 But to this day you have not humbled yourselves. You have not honored me or lived according to all the laws that I gave you and your ancestors.

11 "So then, I, the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, will turn against you and destroy all Judah.

12 As for the people of Judah who are left and are determined to go and live in Egypt, I will see to it that all of them are destroyed. All of them, great and small, will die in Egypt, either in war or of starvation. They will be a horrifying sight; people will make fun of them and use their name as a curse.

13 I will punish those who live in Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem - with war, starvation, and disease.
