Jeremías 30:15

15 ¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebrantamiento? Desahuciado es tu dolor; porque por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, y de tus muchos pecados te he hecho esto

Jeremías 30:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 30:15

Why criest thou for thine affliction?
&c.] Or complainest of the hardness, and heaviness, and continuance of it, when there was such a just cause for it? when men have sinned at a high rate, they have no reason to complain of the punishment of their sins, ( Lamentations 3:39 ) ; thy sorrow [is] incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquity;
such were the number of their iniquities, that they brought them into such a sorrowful and wretched estate and condition that there was no recovery of them, nor hope of recovery of them, by their own power, or by the help and assistance of others: [because] thy sins were increased I have done these things unto thee;
which shows the justice of God, and is a vindication of it under all the seeming severity of it. The Jews ^F24 acknowledge, that under the second temple there was a great increase of capital crimes, such as murders, adulteries for which, and other sins, wrath came upon them to the uttermost by the Romans; and they still continue under the visible marks of the divine displeasure.

14 Todos tus enamorados te olvidaron; no te buscan; porque de herida de enemigo te herí, con azote cruel, a causa de la muchedumbre de tu iniquidad, y de la multitud de tus pecados

15 ¿Por qué gritas a causa de tu quebrantamiento? Desahuciado es tu dolor; porque por la grandeza de tu iniquidad, y de tus muchos pecados te he hecho esto

16 Por tanto todos los que te consumen serán consumidos; y todos tus afligidores, todos irán en cautiverio; y los que te hollaron serán hollados, y a todos los que hicieron presa de ti daré en presa

17 Porque yo haré venir sanidad para ti, y te sanaré de tus heridas, dijo el SEÑOR; porque Arrojada te llamaron, diciendo: Esta es Sion, a la que nadie busca
