Jeremias 22:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:8

And many nations shall pass by this city
After it is burned down and destroyed; that is, people out of many nations travelling that way: and they shall say every man to his neighbour;
as in company together, passing along the ruined walls of the city: wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city?
so fortified and so full of people; the metropolis of the whole nation; the greatest city in the east; yea, the joy of the whole earth; a city peculiarly dear to the Lord; greatly honoured by him with his presence, worship, and ordinances, and yet now in ruins; how comes this to pass? they see and acknowledge the hand of the Lord in it, having a better notion of things than the Jews themselves had.

Jeremias 22:8 In-Context

6 Pois assim diz o Senhor acerca da casa do rei de Judá: Tu és para mim Gileade, e a cabeça do Líbano; todavia certamente farei de ti um deserto e cidades desabitadas.
7 E prepararei contra ti destruidores, cada um com as suas armas; os quais cortarão os teus cedros escolhidos, e os lançarão no fogo.
8 E muitas nações passarão por esta cidade, e dirá cada um ao seu companheiro: Por que procedeu o Senhor assim com esta grande cidade?
9 Então responderão: Porque deixaram o pacto do Senhor seu Deus, e adoraram a outros deuses, e os serviram.
10 Não choreis o morto, nem o lastimeis; mas chorai amargamente aquele que sai; porque não voltará mais, nem verá a terra onde nasceu.
