Jeremías 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 11:9

And the Lord said unto me
After he had given him the order to publish and proclaim the words of the covenant, and exhort to obedience to them; he showed the prophet the reason of it, and opened to him a secret he was not acquainted with: a conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants
of Jerusalem;
not against the king, and against the civil government, but against the King of kings, against God and his covenant, his word and his worship; some designs were forming to cashier these, and introduce a new religion, the idolatry of the Gentiles; and it was not a few only that were in the scheme, the combination was general, city and country were in it; the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the more polite part of the nation, and the country people, that dwelt in the several cities of Judah, were all united in this affair; and this was found out by him who sees and knows all things. It is common for innovators in religion to lay schemes privately, and secretly inculcate them, before things are ripe for the open introduction of them. The Syriac version renders it, "a rebellion"; and conspiracies often issue in open rebellion; and so the Targum,

``and it is found that the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, have rebelled against my word.''

Jeremías 11:9 In-Context

7 Desde el día en que hice salir a sus antepasados de la tierra de Egipto hasta el día de hoy, una y otra vez les he advertido: ‘Obedézcanme’.

8 Pero no obedecieron ni prestaron atención, sino que siguieron la terquedad de su malvado corazón. Por eso hice caer sobre ellos todo el peso de las palabras de este pacto, que yo les había ordenado cumplir, pero que no cumplieron”».

9 El SEÑOR también me dijo: «Se está fraguando una conspiración entre los hombres de Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén.

10 Han vuelto a los mismos pecados de sus antepasados, quienes se negaron a obedecerme. Se han ido tras otros dioses para servirles. Tanto el pueblo de Israel como la tribu de Judá han quebrantado el pacto que hice con sus antepasados.

11 Por eso, así dice el SEÑOR: “Les enviaré una calamidad de la cual no podrán escapar. Aunque clamen a mí, no los escucharé.
