Jeremías 17:17

17 No seas para mí terror; tú eres mi refugio en el día de calamidad.

Jeremías 17:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:17

Be not a terror unto me
By deserting him, and leaving him in the hands of his enemies; or by denying him supports under their reproaches and persecution; or by withdrawing his gracious presence from him, than which nothing is more terrible to a good man; or by withholding the comfortable influences of his Spirit; or by suffering terrors to be injected into him from any quarter; and more is meant than is expressed; namely, that God would be a comforter of him, and bear him up under all his troubles:

thou [art] my hope in the day of evil:
the author and object of his hope; the ground and foundation of it, from whom he hoped for deliverance, when it was a time of distress with him, from outward as well as from inward enemies; he was his hope in a time of outward calamity, and in the hour of death and day of judgment.

17 No seas para mí terror; tú eres mi refugio en el día de calamidad.

18 Sean avergonzados los que me persiguen, pero no sea yo avergonzado; sean atemorizados ellos, pero que no me atemorice yo. Trae sobre ellos el día de calamidad, y destrúyelos con doble destrucción.

19 Así me dijo el SEÑOR: Ve y ponte a la puerta de los hijos del pueblo, por la cual entran y salen los reyes de Judá, y asimismo en todas las puertas de Jerusalén,
