Jeremias 25:27

27 Pois lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Bebei, e embebedai-vos, e vomitai, e caí, e não torneis a levantar, por causa da espada que eu vos enviarei.

Jeremias 25:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:27

Therefore thou shalt say unto them
To the several nations before mentioned, prophesied against: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
the Lord of armies, above and below, the Sovereign of the whole universe; but in a special and peculiar manner the God of Israel: drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more;
as is sometimes the case of drunken men; they drink till they are quite intoxicated; and become drunk, and then they spew up what they have drunk; and, attempting to walk, fall, and sometimes so as never to rise more; not only break their bones, but their necks, or fall into places where they are suffocated, or in one or other, where they lose their lives. So it is signified, that these nations should drink of the cup of God's wrath and fury; or his judgments should come upon them in such a manner as that they should be obliged to part with all their riches, power, and authority; and should fall and sink into such a ruinous condition, as that they should never be able to the more to a prosperous one: because of the sword that I will send among you;
by which they should be destroyed. The Targum joins this with the preceding clause, thus,

``and ye shall not rise from before those that kill with the sword, whom I send among you.''

Jeremias 25:27 In-Context

25 a todos os reis de Zinri, a todos os reis de Elão, e a todos os reis da Média;

26 a todos os reis do Norte, os de perto e os de longe, tanto um como o outro, e a todos os reinos da terra, que estão sobre a face da terra; e o rei de Sesaque beberá depois deles.

27 Pois lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Bebei, e embebedai-vos, e vomitai, e caí, e não torneis a levantar, por causa da espada que eu vos enviarei.

28 Se recusarem tomar o copo da tua mão para beber, então lhes dirás: Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Certamente bebereis.

29 Pois eis que sobre a cidade que se chama pelo meu nome, eu começo a trazer a calamidade; e haveis vós de ficar totalmente impunes? Não ficareis impunes; porque eu chamo a espada sobre todos os moradores da terra, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.
