“And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
The extent of conspiracy: 'They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both Israel and Judah have broken the covenant I made with their ancestors.' This verse clarifies the conspiracy: the people have 'returned to the sins of their ancestors,' have 'followed other gods,' and have 'broken the covenant.' The reference to both Israel and Judah indicates that the entire people (north and south) are implicated. Theologically, this verse indicates that the conspiracy involves systematic abandonment of the covenant.
