In the context of the Old Testament, prophets were often chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people. Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," frequently received such revelations. This underscores the personal relationship between God and His prophets, as seen in other instances like Moses ( Exodus 3:4) and Isaiah ( Isaiah 6:8). There is a conspiracy
The term "conspiracy" suggests a secret plan or agreement to do something unlawful or harmful. In the biblical context, this refers to the spiritual and political rebellion against God’s covenant. Historically, Judah was often tempted to form alliances with surrounding nations, contrary to God’s commands (Isaiah 30:1-2). This conspiracy can also be seen as a type of the ultimate rebellion against God, which is sin. among the men of Judah
Judah was the southern kingdom, consisting of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, after the division of Israel. The men of Judah were expected to uphold the covenant with God, as they were the lineage through which the Messiah was prophesied to come (Genesis 49:10). Their rebellion is significant because it represents a failure to live up to their calling as God’s chosen people. and the residents of Jerusalem
Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, was the spiritual and political center of the Jewish people. It housed the Temple, the focal point of Jewish worship. The mention of Jerusalem highlights the gravity of the conspiracy, as it involves not just the general populace but also those in the city where God’s presence was most intimately known. This echoes Jesus’ lament over Jerusalem in the New Testament (Matthew 23:37), where He mourns the city’s rejection of God’s messengers. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Jeremiah 11:9–10: Is there archaeological or historical evidence of a widespread “conspiracy” among Judah and Israel during Jeremiah’s time?
Jeremiah 11:18-23: How do these threats on Jeremiah's life align with the idea of divine protection for those who follow God's will?
Is there any corroborating evidence for the 70-year period mentioned in Zechariah 1:12, or does it conflict with known historical timelines?
How do we reconcile Daniel 9:1-2's reference to Jeremiah's seventy years with the actual duration of the Babylonian exile?(9) A conspiracy.--The words explain the rapid apostasy that followed on the death of Josiah. There had been all along, even while he was urging his reforms, an organised though secret resistance to the policy of which he was the representative. Verse 9. - A conspiracy. The language is figurative. Jehovah is the King of Israel; to commit sin is "to rebel against" him (Authorized Version sometimes weakens this into "transgress'); and to encourage one another in wickedness is "to conspire against" God. We need not suppose any open combination against spiritual religion; it is enough if" the spirit of the time" was directly contrary to it.
