Jeremias 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:12

Who is the wise man that may understand this?
&c.] Not the calamity, but the cause of it; a man of wisdom would inquire into it, find it out, and understand it; but the intimation is, that there was not a wise man among them, at least very few; there were scarce any that took any notice of these things, or were concerned about them: and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken;
and foretold this desolation and destruction; meaning a prophet: that he may declare it;
as from the Lord, namely, what follows: for what the land perisheth, and is burnt like a wilderness, that none
passeth through?
that is, what were the sins of the inhabitants of the land, which brought such distress upon it, and for which it became such a ruinous heap, and like the heath in the wilderness, so that it had no inhabitant, nor even a passenger: they must be some very great and abominable iniquities that were the cause of all this.

Jeremias 9:12 In-Context

10 Pelos montes levantai choro e pranto, e pelas pastagens do deserto lamentação; porque já estão queimadas, de modo que ninguém passa por elas; nem se ouve mugido de gado; desde as aves dos céus até os animais, fugiram e se foram.
11 E farei de Jerusalém montões de pedras, morada de chacais, e das cidades de Judá farei uma desolação, de sorte que fiquem sem habitantes.
12 Quem é o homem sábio, que entenda isto? e a quem falou a boca do Senhor, para que o possa anunciar? Por que razão pereceu a terra, e se queimou como um deserto, de sorte que ninguém passa por ela?
13 E diz o Senhor: porque deixaram a minha lei, que lhes pus diante, e não deram ouvidos � minha voz, nem andaram nela,
14 antes andaram obstinadamente segundo o seu próprio coração, e após baalins, como lhes ensinaram os seus pais.
