Summary

Jeremiah 11:23 speaks of a plot against the prophet's life by the people of Anathoth, his hometown. Despite Jeremiah's innocence and faithfulness to God, he faced betrayal and persecution from those closest to him. This verse reflects the challenges and opposition that prophets often encountered while delivering God's messages. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by those who faithfully serve the Lord, even in the face of rejection and hostility.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

(Jer 23:12). the year of . . . visitation--The Septuagint translates, "in the year of their," &c., that is, at the time when I shall visit them in wrath. JEROME supports English Version. "Year" often means a determined time. He ventures to expostulate with Jehovah as to the prosperity of the wicked, who had plotted against his life (Jer 12:1-4); in reply he is told that he will have worse to endure, and that from his own relatives (Jer 12:5-6). The heaviest judgments, however, would be inflicted on the faithless people (Jer 12:7-13); and then on the nations co-operating with the Chaldeans against Judah, with, however, a promise of mercy on repentance (Jer 12:14-17).
