A plot against Jeremiah (Jer 11:18-23)
The people of Anathoth, Jeremiah’s home town, had become angry with Jeremiah. They did not like his uncompromising opposition to their false religious practices and his constant predictions of certain judgment. When God warned Jeremiah that they were plotting to kill him, Jeremiah cried to God for help (Jer 11:18-21).
God now replies with a promise that he will protect Jeremiah and punish his would-be murderers (Jer 11:22-23).
