Jeremías 6:7

7 De ella brota la maldad como de una fuente.
Sus calles resuenan con violencia y destrucción.
Siempre veo sus enfermedades y heridas.

Jeremías 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:7

As a fountain casteth out her waters
In great abundance, and continually: so she casteth out her wickedness;
this metaphor expresses the multitude of her sins, the frequent and constant commission of them, and the source and spring of them, the corrupt fountain of the heart; see ( Matthew 12:34 Matthew 12:35 ) ( 15:19 ) : violence and spoil is heard in her;
that is, the cry of those that are oppressed and spoiled is heard, and that by the Lord himself, whose ears are open to the cries of the oppressed, and will avenge them: before me continually is grief and wounds;
the poor, who were grieved and wounded by their oppressors; the Lord was an eye and ear witness of their grievances, and would redress them; nor could their enemies expect to escape his wrath, since they were all known to him; or else the sense is, that because of their violence and spoil of the poor, it was continually before the Lord, in his mind and purpose, and he was just ready to bring upon them, by way of punishment for these things, what would grieve and wound them; so Jarchi interprets it, which Kimchi mentions; and to it the Targum agrees,

``the voice of robbers and plunderers is heard in her before me continually, therefore will I bring upon her evil and smiting.''

Jeremías 6:7 In-Context

5 “¡Entonces, ataquemos de noche
y destruyamos sus palacios!”».

6 El Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales dice:
«Corten árboles para usarlos como arietes;
construyan rampas de asalto contra las murallas de Jerusalén.
Esta es la ciudad que debe ser castigada,
porque es perversa hasta más no poder.

7 De ella brota la maldad como de una fuente.
Sus calles resuenan con violencia y destrucción.
Siempre veo sus enfermedades y heridas.

8 Oye esta advertencia, Jerusalén,
o me alejaré de ti indignado.
Escucha o te convertiré en un montón de escombros,
una tierra donde no vive nadie».

9 El Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales dice:
«Aun los pocos que permanezcan en Israel
serán nuevamente recogidos,
como cuando el que cosecha revisa cada vid por segunda vez
para recoger las uvas que no se cortaron».
