Jeremias 16:10

10 E quando anunciares a este povo todas estas palavras, e eles te disserem: Por que pronuncia o Senhor sobre :nós todo este grande mal? Qual é a nossa iniqüidade? Qual é o pecado que cometemos contra o Senhor nosso Deus?

Jeremias 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 16:10

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people
all these words
Or, "all these things" ^F1; which he was forbid to do; as marrying and having children, going into the house of mourning or feasting, with the reasons of all, because of the calamities coming upon them: and they shall say unto thee, wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all
this great evil against us?
as if they were quite innocent, and were not conscious of anything they had done deserving such punishment, especially so great as this was threatened to be inflicted on them; as their dying grievous deaths, parents and children, great and small, and be unlamented, and unburied: or "what is our iniquity?" or "what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?" supposing we have been guilty of some weaknesses and frailties; or of some few faults; which though they cannot be justified, yet surely are not to be reckoned of such a nature as to deserve and require so great a punishment: thus would they either deny or lessen the sins they had been guilty of, and suggest that the Lord was very hard and severe upon them.

8 Não entres na casa do banquete, para te assentares com eles a comer e a beber.

9 Pois assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que perante os vossos olhos, e em vossos dias, farei cessar deste lugar a voz de gozo e a voz de alegria, a voz do noivo e a voz da noiva.

10 E quando anunciares a este povo todas estas palavras, e eles te disserem: Por que pronuncia o Senhor sobre :nós todo este grande mal? Qual é a nossa iniqüidade? Qual é o pecado que cometemos contra o Senhor nosso Deus?

11 Então lhes dirás: Porquanto vossos pais me deixaram, diz o Senhor, e se foram após outros deuses, e os serviram e adoraram, e a mim me deixaram, e não guardaram a minha lei;

12 e vós fizestes pior do que vossos pais; pois eis que andais, cada um de vós, após o pensamento obstinado do seu mau coração, recusando ouvir-me a mim;
