Jeremias 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:18

When I would comfort myself against terror
Either naturally, by eating and drinking, the necessary and lawful means of refreshment; or spiritually, by reading the word of God, and looking over the promises in it: my heart is faint in me;
at the consideration of the calamities which were coming upon his people, and which were made known to him by a spirit of prophecy, of which he had no room to doubt. So the Targum takes them to be the words of the prophet, paraphrasing them,

``for them, saith the prophet, my heart grieves.''

Jeremias 8:18 In-Context

16 Já desde Dã se ouve o resfolegar dos seus cavalos; a terra toda estremece � voz dos rinchos dos seus ginetes; porque vêm e devoram a terra e quanto nela há, a cidade e os que nela habitam.
17 Pois eis que envio entre vós serpentes, basiliscos, contra os quais não há encantamento; e eles vos morderão, diz o Senhor.
18 Oxalá que eu pudesse consolar-me na minha tristeza! O meu coração desfalece dentro de mim.
19 Eis o clamor da filha do meu povo, de toda a extensão da terra; Não está o Senhor em Sião? Não está nela o seu rei? Por que me provocaram a ira com as suas imagens esculpidas, com vaidades estranhas?
20 Passou a sega, findou o verão, e nós não estamos salvos.
