Jeremías 23:40

40 y pondré sobre vosotros afrenta perpetua, y confusiones eternas que nunca las desarraiga el olvido

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 23:40 In-Context

38 Mas si dijereis: Carga del SEÑOR; por eso así dijo el SEÑOR: Porque dijisteis esta palabra, Carga del SEÑOR, habiendo enviado a vosotros, diciendo: No digáis, Carga del SEÑOR

39 por tanto, he aquí que yo os echaré en olvido, y os arrancaré de mi presencia, y a la ciudad que os di a vosotros y a vuestros padres

40 y pondré sobre vosotros afrenta perpetua, y confusiones eternas que nunca las desarraiga el olvido
