Jeremias 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:22

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to
their fathers to give them
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; so that God was faithful to his word, kept his covenant and oath; and the faithfulness of God is observed and acknowledged by the prophet, along with other perfections of God before taken notice of. The land of Canaan was a land of promise, confirmed by an oath, and was the pure gift of God to the Israelites, and not any merit of theirs; it was given them by him who had a right to dispose of it, and could make them a good title to it, and which they had; though before in the possession of others, who for their wickedness were driven out: a land flowing with milk and honey:
abounding with plenty of all good things, for the sustenance and comfort of human life; a very frequent description of the land of Canaan, and is expressive of the great kindness and goodness of God to this people.

Jeremias 32:22 In-Context

20 puseste sinais e maravilhas na terra do Egito até o dia de hoje, tanto em Israel, como entre os outros homens; e te fizeste um nome, qual tu tens neste dia.

21 E tiraste o teu povo Israel da terra do Egito, com sinais e com maravilhas, e com mão forte, e com braço estendido, e com grande terror;

22 e lhes deste esta terra, que juraste a seus pais que lhes havias de dar, terra que mana leite e mel.

23 E entraram nela, e a possuíram; mas não obedeceram � tua voz, nem andaram na tua lei; de tudo o que lhes mandaste fazer, eles não fizeram nada; pelo que ordenaste lhes sucedesse todo este mal.

24 Eis aqui os valados! já vieram contra a cidade para tomá-la e a cidade está entregue na mão dos caldeus que pelejam contra ela, pela espada, pela fome e pela peste. O que disseste se cumpriu, e eis aqui o estás presenciando.
