Jeremias 23:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:40

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you
Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and still is; for this cannot be restrained to the short captivity of seventy years in Babylon; though this reproach began then, and they never recovered their former honour and glory; and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten;
the same thing in different words, to heighten their disgrace, and confirm the perpetuity of it.

Jeremias 23:40 In-Context

38 Se, por茅m, disserdes: A profecia do Senhor; assim diz o Senhor: Porque dizeis esta palavra: A profecia do Senhor, quando eu mandei dizer-vos: N茫o direis: A profecia do Senhor
39 por isso, eis que certamente eu vos levantarei, e vos lan莽arei fora da minha presen莽a, a v贸s e a cidade que vos dei a v贸s e a vossos pais;
40 e porei sobre v贸s perp茅tuo opr贸brio, e eterna vergonha, que n茫o ser谩 esquecida.
