Jeremías 32:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:27

Behold, I [am] the Lord, the God of all flesh
Jehovah, the self-existent Being, that gives being to all creatures; and is particularly the God of all men, the Maker and Preserver of them, and that provides for them; who are called "flesh", to denote their weakness and corruption, how unworthy of the divine favour, and how unable to resist his will, or hinder the execution of his purposes: and which is introduced with a "behold", to excite attention, to take notice of what was said; to encourage faith, and remove doubts and difficulties; for if God is Jehovah, the Being of beings; if he is the God and Governor of the world, and all men in it, what is it he cannot do? as follows: is there anything too hard for me?
suggesting, that though the city of Jerusalem should be destroyed, and the inhabitants carried captive, yet he could return them again to their own laud; where they should purchase fields and vineyards, and possess them as heretofore: or, "is there anything hidden from me?" ^F4 so the Targum and Syriac version; can anything unforeseen arise to hinder the fulfilment of promises and prophecies? nothing can; since all things are in one view before the Lord continually; or, "is there anything too wonderful for me?" ^F5 that which is too wonderful for men, beyond their comprehension, and so their faith; yet it is not so with God.

Jeremías 32:27 In-Context

25 Y tú Señor DIOS me dijiste a mí: Cómprate la heredad por dinero, y pon testigos; y la ciudad es entregada en manos de los caldeos

26 Y vino palabra del SEÑOR a Jeremías, diciendo

27 He aquí que yo soy el SEÑOR, Dios de toda carne; ¿por ventura se me encubrirá a mí alguna cosa

28 Por tanto, así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí que yo entrego esta ciudad en mano de los caldeos, y en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y la tomará

29 y vendrán los caldeos que combaten esta ciudad, y encenderán esta ciudad a fuego, y la abrasarán, asimismo las casas sobre cuyas azoteas ofrecieron perfumes a Baal y derramaron libaciones a dioses ajenos, para provocarme a ira
