Lamentações de Jeremias 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:17

The Lord hath done [that] which he had devised
It was not so much the Chaldeans that did it, though they ascribed it to themselves; but it was the Lord's doing, and what he had deliberately thought of, purposed and designed within himself; all whose purposes and devices certainly come to pass: he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old;
not only by the mouth of Jeremiah, years ago, or in the times of Isaiah, long before him; but even in the days of Moses; see ( Leviticus 26:17 ) , &c. ( Deuteronomy 28:20 ) So the Targum,

``which he commanded to Moses the prophet from ancient days, that if the children of Israel would not keep the commands of the Lord, he would take vengeance on them:''
he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied;
he hath thrown down, or caused to be thrown down, without any pity, the walls of Jerusalem; and not only the houses and palaces in it, but also his own house, the temple: and he hath caused [thine] enemy to rejoice over thee;
giving thorn victory, and putting all into their hands; on which they insulted them, and gloried over them: he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries;
increased their strength and power, their kingdom and authority; and which swelled their pride, and made them more haughty and insolent.

Lamentações de Jeremias 2:17 In-Context

15 Todos os que passam pelo caminho batem palmas contra ti; eles assobiam e meneiam a cabeça sobre a filha de Jerusalém, dizendo: E esta a cidade que denominavam a perfeição da formosura, o gozo da terra toda?
16 Todos os teus inimigos abrem as suas bocas contra ti, assobiam, e rangem os dentes; dizem: Devoramo-la; certamente este e o dia que esperavamos; achamo-lo, vimo-lo.
17 Fez o Senhor o que intentou; cumpriu a sua palavra, que ordenou desde os dias da antigüidade; derrubou, e não se apiedou; fez que o inimigo se alegrasse por tua causa, exaltou o poder dos teus adversários.
18 Clama ao Senhor, ó filha de Sião; corram as tuas lágrimas, como um ribeiro, de dia e de noite; não te dês repouso, nem descansem os teus olhos.
19 Levanta-te, clama de noite no princípio das vigias; derrama o teu coração como águas diante do Senhor! Levanta a ele as tuas mãos, pela vida de teus filhinhos, que desfalecem de fome � entrada de todas as ruas.
