See Scofield Note: "Dt 30.3". The Assyrian and Babylonian captivities of Israel and of Judah were the execution of the warning, Dt 28:63-68. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary CHAPTER 11 Jer 11:1-23. Epitome of the Covenant Found in the Temple in Josiah's Reign. Judah's Revolt from It, and God's Consequent Wrath. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 11:1-10 God never promised to bestow blessings on his rational creatures, while they persist in wilful disobedience. Pardon and acceptance are promised freely to all believers; but no man can be saved who does not obey the command of God to repent, to believe in Christ, to separate from sin and the world, to choose self-denial and newness of life. In general, men will hearken to those who speak of doctrines, promises, and privileges; but when duties are mentioned, they will not bend their ear. |
