Jeremias 46:27

27 Mas não temas tu, servo meu, Jacó, nem te espantes, ó Israel; pois eis que te livrarei mesmo de longe, e a tua descendência da terra do seu cativeiro; e Jacó voltará, e ficará tranqüilo e sossegado, e não haverá quem o atemorize.

Jeremias 46:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 46:27

But fear thou not, O my servant Jacob; and be not dismayed, O
Israel
The same things are said in ( Jeremiah 30:10 ) ; (See Gill on Jeremiah 30:10); for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land
their captivity;
Grotius thinks the Jews carried into Egypt by Pharaohnecho, along with Jehoahaz, are meant; but it does not appear that any were carried captive along with him, ( 2 Kings 23:33 2 Kings 23:34 ) . Jarchi supposes these to be the righteous in Egypt, who were carried thither by Johanan against their will; but though they may be included, even that small remnant that should escape, ( Jeremiah 44:28 ) ; yet the Jews in Babylon, and other provinces, are chiefly designed; and the words are intended to comfort them in their captivity, with a promise of their return, lest they should be discouraged, in hearing that the Egyptians should inhabit their own land again, and they not theirs: and Jacob shall return, and be in rest, and at ease, and none shall
make [him] afraid:
this will have its full accomplishment hereafter in the latter day; when the Jews will be converted, and return to their own land, and never be disturbed more, as they have been, ever since their return from the Babylonish captivity. So Kimchi says this passage respects time to come.

Jeremias 46:27 In-Context

25 Diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que eu castigarei a Amom de Tebas, e a Faraó, e ao Egito, juntamente com os seus deuses e os seus reis, sim, ao próprio Faraó, e aos que nele confiam.
26 E os entregarei na mão dos que procuram a sua morte, na mão de Nabucodonozor, rei de Babilônia, e na mão dos seus servos; mas depois será habitada, como nos dias antigos, diz o Senhor.
27 Mas não temas tu, servo meu, Jacó, nem te espantes, ó Israel; pois eis que te livrarei mesmo de longe, e a tua descendência da terra do seu cativeiro; e Jacó voltará, e ficará tranqüilo e sossegado, e não haverá quem o atemorize.
28 Tu não temas, servo meu, Jacó, diz o senhor; porque estou contigo; pois destruirei totalmente todas as nações para onde te arrojei; mas a ti não te destruirei de todo, mas castigar-te-ei com justiça, e de modo algum te deixarei impune.
