Jeremiah experiences fear and persecution as his own people plot against him. This personal betrayal and threat to his life evoke feelings of fear and distress, highlighting the prophet's vulnerability (Jeremiah 11:18-23).
The chapter concludes with Jeremiah reflecting on his situation and resolving to trust in the Lord's protection. His faith and determination to continue his prophetic mission, despite the dangers, reflect a deep sense of resolve and reliance on divine support (Jeremiah 11:20-23).
