Jeremia 23:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:40

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you
Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and still is; for this cannot be restrained to the short captivity of seventy years in Babylon; though this reproach began then, and they never recovered their former honour and glory; and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten;
the same thing in different words, to heighten their disgrace, and confirm the perpetuity of it.

Jeremia 23:40 In-Context

38 Wenn ihr aber saget: "Last Jehovas", darum, so spricht Jehova: Weil ihr dieses Wort saget: "Last Jehovas", und ich doch zu euch gesandt und gesprochen habe: Ihr sollt nicht sagen: "Last Jehovas"

39 darum, siehe, werde ich euch ganz vergessen, und euch und die Stadt, die ich euch und euren Vätern gegeben habe, von meinem Angesicht verstoßen;

40 und ich werde ewigen Hohn auf euch legen und eine ewige Schande, die nicht vergessen werden wird.
