Commentary on Jeremiah 11:17

Theological / Devotional

Planted thee. The one who plants a tree has the right to remove it if it proves unproductive. God had a special plan for ancient Israel (see pp. 26, 27). When the people failed in their divine mission, God removed from them their special rights and privileges (see Matt. 21:33-43; cf. Isa. 5:1-7; Jer. 2:21).
