Jeremías 32:42 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:42

For thus saith the Lord, like as I have brought all this
great evil upon this people
The Chaldean army now besieging them, the famine and pestilence among them, as well as their captivity, which was just at hand and certain: so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them;
in the preceding verses; as being their God, and they his people; giving them one heart, and one way; putting his fear into them; causing them to persevere to the end: rejoicing over them to do them good; and planting them in the land. God is as faithful to his promises as to his threatenings; and those who have seen the fulfilment of the one need not doubt of the accomplishment of the other; for if he has done all the evil things he threatened to do, which are his acts of justice, his strange acts, much more will he do the good things he has promised, which are his acts of grace and mercy, in which he delights.

43 Se comprarán campos en esta tierra, de la cual ustedes dicen: “Es una tierra desolada, sin gente ni animales, porque fue entregada en manos de los babilonios”.

44 En la tierra de Benjamín y en los alrededores de Jerusalén, en las ciudades de Judá, de la región montañosa, de la llanura, y del Néguev, se comprarán campos por dinero, se firmarán escrituras, y se sellarán ante testigos —afirma el SEÑOR—, porque yo cambiaré su suerte».
