Jérémie 25:37 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:37

And the peaceable habitations are cut down
Or, "their peaceable ones", as the Targum; the palaces and stately dwellings, in which they lived in great pomp and prosperity, in great peace, plenty, and safety, are destroyed by the enemy, and laid waste, and become desolate; yea, even those that lived peaceably and quietly, and neither were disturbed themselves, nor disturbed others, yet, as is usual in times of war, share the same fate with their neighbours, who have been more troublesome and molesting: because of the fierce anger of the Lord;
or "from before [it], from the face [of it]"; shall be destroyed by it, that being displayed; and using enemies as instruments in the destruction of them. Sin is the cause of God's wrath and fierce anger, and his wrath and anger the cause of the destruction of men and their habitations, Whoever are the instruments.

Jérémie 25:37 In-Context

35 Et les bergers n'auront aucun moyen de fuir, ni les conducteurs du troupeau d'échapper.
36 On entend le cri des bergers, et le gémissement des conducteurs du troupeau; car l'Éternel dévaste leurs pâturages,
37 Et les demeures paisibles sont ravagées, à cause de l'ardeur de la colère de l'Éternel.
38 Il a abandonné sa demeure comme un lionceau son repaire; car leur pays est mis en désolation, à cause de la fureur du destructeur, à cause de l'ardeur de sa colère.
