Jeremias 19:3

3 e dirás: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, ó reis de Judá, e moradores de Jerusalém. Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei sobre este lugar uma calamidade tal que fará retinir os ouvidos de quem quer que dela ouvir.

Jeremias 19:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 19:3

And say, hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah
The king and his queen; or the king and his sons; or the king and his princes, and nobles; for there was but one king reigning at a time in Judah, and the present king was Zedekiah; see ( Jeremiah 21:1 ) ; and inhabitants of Jerusalem;
the elders of which, and of the priests, were now before him; to whom he said the following things, that they might tell them to the persons mentioned: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
who is able to do whatsoever he pleases in the armies of the heavens, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and will do so among his own people, notwithstanding his being the God of Israel: behold, I will bring evil upon this place;
the evil of punishment for the evil of sin; such as the sword, famine, and captivity; meaning not on that spot of ground where the prophet with the elders were, but upon the city of Jerusalem, and on all the land of Judea: the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;
it shall be astonishing and surprising to him; it shall even stun him; he shall stand as one thunderstruck or be so affected with it as a man is at a violent clap of thunder, or at some exceeding vehement sound, which leaves such an impression upon him, and continues with him, that he cannot get rid of it; but seems to be continually sounding in his ears, and they even echo and ring with it; see ( 1 Samuel 3:11 ) . The phrase denotes the greatness of the calamity, and the surprise which the bare report of it would bring with it.

Jeremias 19:3 In-Context

1 Assim disse o Senhor: Vai, e compra uma botija de oleiro, e leva contigo alguns anciãos do povo e alguns anciãos dos sacerdotes;

2 e sai ao vale do filho de Hinom, que está � entrada da Porta Harsite, e apregoa ali as palavras que eu te disser;

3 e dirás: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, ó reis de Judá, e moradores de Jerusalém. Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei sobre este lugar uma calamidade tal que fará retinir os ouvidos de quem quer que dela ouvir.

4 Porquanto me deixaram, e profanaram este lugar, queimando nele incenso a outros deuses, que nunca conheceram, nem eles nem seus pais, nem os reis de Judá; e encheram este lugar de sangue de inocentes.

5 E edificaram os altos de Baal, para queimarem seus filhos no fogo em holocaustos a Baal; o que nunca lhes ordenei, nem falei, nem entrou no meu pensamento.
