Jeremias 49:5

5 Eis que farei vir sobre ti pavor, diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos, de todos os que estão ao redor de ti; e sereis lançados fora, cada um para diante, e ninguém recolherá o desgarrado.

Jeremias 49:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:5

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of
hosts
The terrible army of the Chaldeans, which should strike them with a panic; who thought themselves so secure in their fortresses, trusting in their riches: from all those that be about thee;
meaning either from the Chaldeans, and the neighbouring nations, that should join and surround the Ammonites on all sides; or from all the borders of Ammon round about, where they should come; they would be a "magormissabib", "a fear all round", ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) : and ye shall be driven out every man right forth;
driven out of their houses, and cities, and villages, and steer their course right forward, and never look behind to see what were become of their families and their friends; everyone having enough to do to provide for his own safety: and none shall gather up him that wandereth;
that is straggling about, and knows not which way to take, and whither to flee for safety; all will be so intent on their own safety, that they will not concern themselves for others, to take them under their care; to take those that are on foot upon their horses or carriages, whom they overtake; or into their houses, as they pass by.

Jeremias 49:5 In-Context

3 Uiva, ó Hesbom, porque é destruída Ai; clamai, ó filhas de Rabá, cingi-vos de sacos; lamentai, e dai voltas pelas sebes; porque Milcom irá em cativeiro, juntamente com os seus sacerdotes e os seus príncipes.
4 Por que te glorias nos vales, teus luxuriantes vales, ó filha apóstata? que confias nos teus tesouros, dizendo: Quem virá contra mim?
5 Eis que farei vir sobre ti pavor, diz o Senhor Deus dos exércitos, de todos os que estão ao redor de ti; e sereis lançados fora, cada um para diante, e ninguém recolherá o desgarrado.
6 Mas depois disto farei voltar do cativeiro os filhos de Amom, diz o senhor.
7 A respeito de Edom. Assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Acaso não há mais sabedoria em Temã? Pereceu o conselho dos entendidos? Desvaneceu-se-lhes a sabedoria?
