Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The prophecy contained in Jer. 11–12 seems to belong to an early period of Jeremiah’s life. The covenant Jer 11:2 was that renewed by Josiah in his 18th year, after the discovery of the Book of the Law in the temple 2Ki 23:3; while Jer 11:13 apparently refers to the public establishment of idolatry by Manasseh Jer 21:3. The people took no hearty part in Josiah’s reformation, and the prophet therefore sets before them the consequences that will inevitably fellow upon their disloyalty to their covenant-God.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He opens the charter upon which their state was founded and by which they held their privileges. They had forgotten the tenour of it, and lived as if they thought that the grant was absolute and that they might do what they pleased and yet have what God had promised, or as if they thought that the keeping up of the ceremonial observances was all that God required of them.

Two trees stood in Eden and framed the first choice. One stood on Calvary and absorbed the consequence of the wrong one. The tree of life closes the canon, multiplied and unguarded.
