77. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 11

1-3 Let them do the commandments and acknowledge the Lord; this is meant by the covenant. (3)

4 It was with them when they were reformed. (3)

5-6 Every good and truth of the church is theirs by means of it. (3)

7-8 This they were often told, but they did not obey, (3, 4)

9-10 but all did the contrary, and acknowledged another god. (3)

11-13 Therefore there is no help for them, because they all love falsities and worship other gods. (3)

14 Intercession will not avail. (3, 3)

15-17 They have profaned the church and its good and truth. (3, 16)

18-19 This was made manifest by their delivering the Lord up to death. (9)

20 Therefore retribution awaits them. (15)

21 They do not wish to hear about the Lord. (4)

22-23 They will perish by means of falsities on the day of judgment. (15)
