Commentary on Jeremiah 11:23

Theological / Devotional

No remnant. If the “remnant” refers to those who would return from captivity, the prediction evidently applies only to the men who conspired against Jeremiah, inasmuch as some of the men of Anathoth did return (see Ezra 2:23; Neh. 7:27). On the other hand, the prophet may be referring to the carrying away into exile of all the city’s inhabitants. The fact that Anathoth was near Jerusalem would bring upon it the full force of the Babylonian invasion.

Visitation. The purpose of the visitation is punishment (see on Ps. 8:4 ; 59:5).
