Commentary on Jeremiah 11:22
This verse pronounces judgment: 'Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them.' The Hebrew paqad (פָּקַד, visit, reckon with) announces divine retribution. 'The young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.' Specific judgments match covenant curses—sword for warriors, famine for families. The comprehensiveness (young men, sons, daughters) indicates complete devastation. Those who sought Jeremiah's life will lose their own lives and their children's lives.
