‏ Jeremiah 5:10-13

Summary for Jer 5:10-13: 5:10-13 ^a The Lord delivered a decree to destroy Judah’s vineyards, which probably represented Judah itself (see Isa 5:1-7 ^b; 27:2-6 ^c). The people were ignoring the Lord. They did not belong to him as his children, and he could not overlook the treachery of their love for idols (Jer 3:6 ^d; 4:27 ^e; 7:27 ^f).
Summary for Jer 5:12-13: 5:12-13 ^g Even with the enemy looming on the northern horizon, the people thought that nothing bad would happen to them (14:13 ^h; Isa 47:8 ⁱ). They did not respect God’s prophets (literally the prophets) either.

• Some interpreters end the people’s quote with Jer 5:12 ^j and attribute 5:13 ^k to the Lord. The windbags would then refer to false prophets.
