Jérémie 11.1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens Jérémie 11.2 audite verba pacti huius et loquimini ad viros Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem Jérémie 11.3 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel maledictus vir qui non audierit verba pacti huius Jérémie 11.4 quod praecepi patribus vestris in die qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti de fornace ferrea dicens audite vocem meam et facite omnia quae praecipio vobis et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum Jérémie 11.5 ut suscitem iuramentum quod iuravi patribus vestris daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte et melle sicut est dies haec et respondi et dixi amen Domine Jérémie 11.6 et dixit Dominus ad me vociferare omnia verba haec in civitatibus Iuda et foris Hierusalem dicens audite verba pacti huius et facite illa Jérémie 11.7 quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros in die qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc mane surgens contestatus sum et dixi audite vocem meam Jérémie 11.8 et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed abierunt unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti huius quod praecepi ut facerent et non fecerunt Jérémie 11.9 et dixit Dominus ad me inventa est coniuratio in viris Iuda et in habitatoribus Hierusalem Jérémie 11.10 reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores qui noluerunt audire verba mea et hii ergo abierunt post deos alienos ut servirent eis irritum fecerunt domus Israhel et domus Iuda pactum meum quod pepigi cum patribus eorum Jérémie 11.11 quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus ecce ego inducam super eos mala de quibus exire non poterunt et clamabunt ad me et non exaudiam eos Jérémie 11.12 et ibunt civitates Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem et clamabunt ad deos quibus libant et non salvabunt eos in tempore adflictionis eorum Jérémie 11.13 secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui Iuda et secundum numerum viarum Hierusalem posuistis aras confusionis aras ad libandum Baali Jérémie 11.14 tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc et ne adsumas pro eis laudem et orationem quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me in tempore adflictionis eorum Jérémie 11.15 quid est quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa numquid carnes sanctae auferent a te malitias tuas in quibus gloriata es Jérémie 11.16 olivam uberem pulchram fructiferam speciosam vocavit Dominus nomen tuum ad vocem loquellae grandis exarsit ignis in ea et conbusta sunt frutecta eius Jérémie 11.17 et Dominus exercituum qui plantavit te locutus est super te malum pro malis domus Israhel et domus Iuda quae fecerunt sibi ad inritandum me libantes Baali Jérémie 11.18 tu autem Domine demonstrasti mihi et cognovi tunc ostendisti mihi studia eorum Jérémie 11.19 et ego quasi agnus mansuetus qui portatur ad victimam et non cognovi quia super me cogitaverunt consilia mittamus lignum in panem eius et eradamus eum de terra viventium et nomen eius non memoretur amplius Jérémie 11.20 tu autem Domine Sabaoth qui iudicas iuste et probas renes et cor videam ultionem tuam ex eis tibi enim revelavi causam meam Jérémie 11.21 propterea haec dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth qui quaerunt animam tuam et dicunt non prophetabis in nomine Domini et non morieris in manibus nostris Jérémie 11.22 propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce ego visitabo super eos iuvenes morientur in gladio filii eorum et filiae eorum morientur in fame Jérémie 11.23 et reliquiae non erunt ex eis inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth annum visitationis eorum

Jérémie : Caput 11

The Broken Covenant: Reflections on Jeremiah 11

Chapter 11 of the book of Jeremiah is a sobering reminder of the broken covenant between God and his people. How does God respond to Judah's infidelity? This solemn text highlights the terms of the Mosaic covenant while denouncing Judah's persistent disobedience. It addresses crucial themes such as the consequences of covenant-breaking, prophetic intercession, and plots against Jeremiah himself.

Jeremiah 11 also reveals God's broken heart, suffering because of his people's rejection. Through this text, we are invited to meditate on the profound implications of the covenant and the faithfulness God expects of us. We invite you to explore five biblical passages that shed light on the enduring principles of this covenant message.

Galatians 3:10

"All who depend on the observance of the law are under a curse, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.'" In this passage, Paul, like Jeremiah in Jeremiah 11:3-5, highlights the dramatic consequences of breaking the covenant.

Hebrews 8:9

"It will not be like the covenant I made with your ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt. Because they would not keep my covenant, I turned away from them, declares the Lord." The author of Hebrews uses Jeremiah (31:32) to contrast the old and new covenants, a theme that also resonates in Jeremiah 11.

Hosea 6:7

"Like Adam, they have broken the covenant; there they have dealt treacherously with me." Hosea, like Jeremiah in 11:10, refers to the people's breaking of the covenant, highlighting a recurring infidelity.

Ezekiel 20:8

"But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me. Not one of them cast away the vile idols that fascinated their eyes." Ezekiel, like Jeremiah in 11:9-11, depicts the people's rebellion and God's judgment that follows. follows.

Psalms 78:36-37

"But afterward they deceived him with their mouths and lied to him with their tongues. Their hearts were not faithful to him, nor were they faithful to his covenant." This psalm, similar to Jeremiah 11:9-10, illustrates the people's infidelity to the divine covenant.

By meditating on these passages, we are called to renew our commitment to God and restore our fidelity to his covenant. May these reflections guide us on the path to reconciliation with our Creator.
