This is a parallel-text presentation of Jeremiah chapter 11 from the Hebrew Bible, displaying three textual traditions side by side: the English King James Version annotated with Strong's concordance numbers, the Greek Septuagint (LXX), and the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Tanakh). The chapter is a covenant sermon in which God commands the prophet Jeremiah to proclaim the terms of the Sinai covenant to Judah and Jerusalem, cursing any who disobey it. The bulk of the passage diagnoses covenant failure: Israel and Judah have followed foreign gods, erected altars to Baal in every city and street, and broken the covenant made at the Exodus — so God announces inescapable punishment and explicitly forbids Jeremiah from interceding on the people's behalf. The chapter closes with a distinctive personal episode in which men from Jeremiah's own hometown of Anathoth threaten to kill him if he continues prophesying, to which God responds with a judgment oracle promising their complete destruction. The parallel-column format, with the KJV keyed to Strong's numbers for lexical lookup, signals this is a scholarly or devotional study resource aimed at readers who want to compare textual traditions and trace original-language vocabulary across the Hebrew, Greek, and English versions of the same passage.
