Jeremiah 11 · Grade 3

A Green Olive Tree

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Jeremiah to remind the people of the covenant. A covenant is a promise between God and people. When God brought their fathers out of Egypt, he told them to obey his voice. Then they would be his people, and he would be their God.

The people did not obey. They walked in the stubbornness of their evil hearts. God had once called them a green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit. Now the tree was broken.

Some men from Jeremiah's hometown of Anathoth made plans against him. Jeremiah did not know at first. He was like a gentle lamb. Then Yahweh gave him knowledge of it. Jeremiah trusted God, who judges righteously.

Memory Verse

“Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.”
