The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, “Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; See also: Jeremiah 11:6Exodus 19:52 Kings 23:2-3and say to them, the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant, See also: Deuteronomy 27:26Deuteronomy 28:15-68Deuteronomy 29:19-20which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God; See also: Leviticus 26:12Deuteronomy 4:20Jeremiah 7:22-23that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, LORD.” See also: Deuteronomy 7:12-13Psalms 105:9-11Jeremiah 28:6The LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them. See also: Romans 2:13James 1:22John 13:17For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.” See also: 2 Chronicles 36:15Exodus 23:21-221 Samuel 8:9Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’” See also: Jeremiah 7:24Jeremiah 7:26Jeremiah 35:15The LORD said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. See also: Hosea 6:9Matthew 26:15Jeremiah 5:31They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. See also: Deuteronomy 31:16Ezekiel 16:59Judges 2:12-13Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them. See also: Isaiah 1:15Ezekiel 8:18Proverbs 1:28Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble. See also: Jeremiah 2:28Deuteronomy 32:372 Chronicles 28:22For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’ See also: Jeremiah 2:282 Kings 23:13Jeremiah 7:9“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble. See also: Jeremiah 7:16Jeremiah 11:11Jeremiah 14:11What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.” See also: Proverbs 2:14Titus 1:15Jeremiah 2:2The LORD called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken. See also: Romans 11:17-24Isaiah 27:11Psalms 52:8For the LORD of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal. See also: Isaiah 5:2Jeremiah 2:21Jeremiah 12:2The LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings. See also: 2 Kings 6:9-101 Samuel 23:11-12Ezekiel 8:6-18But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.” See also: Jeremiah 20:10Isaiah 53:7-8Psalms 83:4But, LORD of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause. See also: Jeremiah 20:12Jeremiah 17:101 Samuel 16:7“Therefore the LORD says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in the LORD’s name, that you not die by our hand’— See also: Amos 2:12Luke 13:33-34Isaiah 30:10therefore the LORD of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine. See also: Jeremiah 18:212 Chronicles 36:171 Thessalonians 2:15-16There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’” See also: Jeremiah 23:12Micah 7:4Hosea 9:7

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)16 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
