Jeremías 30:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 30:12

For thus saith the Lord, thy bruise [is] incurable
By themselves or others, in all human appearance; there was no help for them from men; their case seemed desperate; there was no likelihood of their recovery to their former state and glory, as at this day the case of the Jews appears to be; there seems to be no probability of their conversion and restoration; and whenever it is, it will be as life from the dead, ( Romans 11:15 ) ; like quickening Ezekiel's dry bones, or raising persons from the dead, which none but the hand of omnipotence can effect: [and] thy wound [is] grievous;
an expression signifying the same as before: the metaphor is taken from a body wounded and bruised in such a manner, as to be past the skill of the most able surgeon to cure it.

10 "Así que tú no temas, siervo mío Jacob"declara el SEÑOR "ni te atemorices, Israel; porque he aquí, te salvaré de lugar remoto, y a tu descendencia de la tierra de su cautiverio. Y volverá Jacob, y estará tranquilo y seguro, y nadie lo atemorizará.

11 "Porque yo estoy contigo"declara el SEÑOR"para salvarte; pues acabaré con todas las naciones entre las que te he esparcido, pero no acabaré contigo, sino que te castigaré con justicia; de ninguna manera te dejaré sin castigo."

12 Porque así dice el SEÑOR: "Incurable es tu quebranto, y grave tu herida.

13 No hay quien defienda tu causa; para una llaga hay cura, pero no hay mejoría para ti.

14 "Todos tus amantes te han olvidado, ya no te buscan; porque con herida de enemigo te han herido, con castigo de hombre cruel, por lo grande de tu iniquidad y lo numeroso de tus pecados.
