Jeremias 32:31

31 Na verdade esta cidade, desde o dia em que a edificaram e até o dia de hoje, tem provocado a minha ira e o meu furor, de sorte que eu a removerei de diante de mim,

Jeremias 32:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:31

For this city hath been tame [as] a provocation of mine anger
and of my fury
Or, "upon mine anger, and upon my fury this city was to me" ^F8; that is, it was upon his heart, and in his mind and purpose, being provoked to anger and wrath by their sins, to have destroyed it long ago, though he had deferred it to this time; the inhabitants of this city had been always a provoking people to him; and he had thought to have poured out his wrath and fury upon them: from the day they built it, even unto this day:
when built and inhabited by the idolatrous Canaanites; possessed by the Jebusites; rebuilt by David; beautified with the temple and other stately buildings by Solomon, who was drawn it, to idolatry by his wives. It is a tradition of the Jews, mentioned both by Jarchi and Kimchi, that the same day that the foundation of the temple was laid, Solomon married Pharaoh's daughter; and which was the foundation of his idolatry; and which was more or less practised in every reign afterwards, to this time; and which so provoked the Lord, that he took up this resolution early, though he did not put it in execution; expressed as follows: that I should remove it from before my face;
as a man does that which is nauseous and abominable to him; meaning the removing the inhabitants of it into other lands, or causing them to go into captivity; so the Targum.

Jeremias 32:31 In-Context

29 E os caldeus que pelejam contra esta cidade entrarão nela, e lhe porão fogo, e a queimarão, juntamente com as casas sobre cujos terraços queimaram incenso a Baal e ofereceram libações a outros deuses, para me provocarem a ira.

30 Pois os filhos de Israel e os filhos de Judá têm feito desde a sua mocidade tão somente o que era mau aos meus olhos; pois os filhos de Israel nada têm feito senão provocar-me � ira com as obras das suas mãos, diz o Senhor.

31 Na verdade esta cidade, desde o dia em que a edificaram e até o dia de hoje, tem provocado a minha ira e o meu furor, de sorte que eu a removerei de diante de mim,

32 por causa de toda a maldade dos filhos de Israel e dos filhos de Judá, que fizeram para me provocarem � ira, eles e os seus reis, os seus príncipes, os seus sacerdotes e os seus profetas, como também os homens de Judá e os moradores de Jerusalém.

33 E viraram para mim as costas, e não o rosto; ainda que eu os ensinava, com insistência, eles não deram ouvidos para receberem instrução.
