Notes
The Lord gave Jeremiah permission to present legal charges against the people of Judah and Jerusalem. With the divine name's power supporting his words, the Lord explained the covenant's terms. These terms included curses for those who did not obey (see Deuteronomy 27:15–26; 28:15–68).
The Lord reminded Jeremiah of several messages (Exodus 19:5) that had formed the foundation of the relationship between the Lord and Israel for many centuries. Since the kingdom of Judah was the last part of Israel, its people were the ones facing judgment before the Lord. This likely happened during King Jehoiakim's reign.
