20 Sobe ao Líbano, e clama, e levanta a tua voz em Basã, e clama desde Abarim; porque são destruídos todos os teus namorados.

Jeremias 22:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:20

Go up to Lebanon, and cry
These words are directed to Jerusalem and its inhabitants, and to the people of the Jews; not to go up to the temple, as the Targum interprets it, so called, because made of the wood of Lebanon, as in ( Zechariah 11:1 ) ; or, as the Rabbins say, because it made white the sins of Israel; but the mountain of Lebanon, and from thence call to their neighbours for help in their present distress, as the Assyrians and Egyptians; and lift up thy voice in Bashan;
another high hill in the land of Israel. The Targum interprets this also of the gates of the mountain of the house; so called, as Jarchi thinks, because made of the oaks of Bashan; or, as Kimchi, because there were beasts continually there for sacrifice, as in Bashan, a pasture for cattle; but the mountain itself is intended; and cry from the passages;
or "from Abarim"; a mountain of this name on the borders of Moab, ( Numbers 27:12 ) . Now these several high mountains are named, because from hence they might look around them, and call to their neighbours, if any of them could help them: it is ironically spoken, for it is suggested that none of them could: for all thy lovers are destroyed;
their friends and allies, with whom they had not only entered into leagues, but had committed spiritual fornication with them; that is, idolatry, as the Egyptians and Assyrians; but these were now subdued by Nebuchadnezzar, and were at least so weakened and destroyed by him, that they could give no assistance to the Jews; see ( 2 Kings 24:7 ) .

Jeremias 22:20 In-Context

18 Portanto assim diz o Senhor acerca de Jeoiaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá: Não o lamentarão, dizendo: Ai, meu irmão! ou: Ai, minha irmã! nem o lamentarão, dizendo: Ai, Senhor! ou: Ai, sua majestade!

19 Com a sepultura de jumento será sepultado, sendo arrastado e lançado fora das portas de Jerusalém.

20 Sobe ao Líbano, e clama, e levanta a tua voz em Basã, e clama desde Abarim; porque são destruídos todos os teus namorados.

21 Falei contigo no tempo da tua prosperidade; mas tu disseste: Não escutarei. Este tem sido o teu caminho, desde a tua mocidade, o não obedeceres � minha voz.

22 O vento apascentará todos os teus pastores, e os teus namorados irão para o cativeiro; certamente então te confundirás,
