Jeremias 45:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 45:4

Thus shalt thou say unto him
This is spoken to Jeremiah, and is an order from the Lord to him, what he should say in his name to Baruch: the Lord saith thus, behold, [that] which I have built will I break
down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up;
the Jewish nation, both as to church and state; which the Lord had built up as a spacious and beautiful house to dwell in, and had planted as a vineyard, and set it with pleasant plants; but now would demolish this building, and destroy this plantation: even this whole land;
not a few cities only, or only Jerusalem the metropolis, but the whole land of Judea; no part of it but what should be left desolate. So the Targum,

``even the whole land of Israel, which is mine.''

Jeremias 45:4 In-Context

2 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel, acerca de ti ó Baruque.

3 Disseste: Ai de mim agora! porque me acrescentou o Senhor tristeza � minha dor; estou cansado do meu gemer, e não acho descanso.

4 Isto lhe dirás: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que estou a demolir o que edifiquei, e a arrancar o que plantei, e isso em toda esta terra.

5 E procuras tu grandezas para ti mesmo? Não as busques; pois eis que estou trazendo o mal sobre toda a raça, diz o Senhor; porém te darei a tua vida por despojo, em todos os lugares para onde fores.
