Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) — Perek 11

Yirmiyahu condemns the broken covenant, and the men of Anatot plot to assassinate him.

Hashem reminds the people of the covenant made at Sinai and declares that Yehudah has broken it by following other gods. Therefore, disaster is inescapable. Hashem reveals to Yirmiyahu that the men of his own hometown, Anatot, are plotting to kill him. Yirmiyahu asks for divine vengeance against them, and Hashem promises to punish his attackers.
