Jeremiah 11

YHWH instructs Yirmeyahu to proclaim the covenant made with their ancestors upon exiting Mitsrayim, cursing those who disobey, and notes Yisra'el's and Yehudah's persistent rebellion and idolatry to Ba'al despite warnings[1][2][3]. YHWH declares inescapable calamity, futile cries to idols, portrays Yisra'el as a doomed olive tree, and vows punishment on the men of Anathot plotting Yirmeyahu's death, with their young men dying by the sword and families by famine[1][3][5].
