Jeremiah 11:3

"“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;"

Key Reflection

This command from God to Jeremiah instructs him to relay a covenant message specifically to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, who were living in the land promised to their ancestors after being freed from Egyptian slavery. The original audience would have understood this as part of a continuing tradition of God's covenants with His chosen people, reminding them of past promises and responsibilities that were central to their identity and relationship with Yahweh.
