Jeremiah's Sixth Prophecy (Reign of Josiah). The Broken Covenant entails a Curse

These Chapter s form a connected prophecy. They probably belong to Josiah's time, for (a) 'the words of this covenant' (Jeremiah 11:3) seem to refer to the reading of the newly discovered law mentioned in 2 Kings 23:3; (b) Jeremiah has not yet removed from Anathoth to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 11:21), and (c) the apparent allusion (Jeremiah 12:4) to a drought accords with similar references in prophecies belonging to Josiah's reign (Jeremiah 3:3; Jeremiah 5:24).
