Jeremías 4:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 4:13

Behold, he shall come up as clouds
Meaning the lion, Nebuchadnezzar, ( Jeremiah 4:7 ) ,

``the king with his army (as the Targum paraphrases it); he shall come up against them as a cloud that ascendeth and covers the earth.''
``come up against them as a cloud that ascendeth and covers the earth.''
The metaphor denotes the swiftness of his coming, and the multitudes he should come with, and that darkness and distress he should bring with him upon the people of the Jews: and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind;
for swiftness, power, and violence: chariots for war are intended; see ( Isaiah 5:28 ) : his horses are swifter than eagles:
the swiftest of birds. The same thing is designed as by the other metaphors; the swiftness and suddenness of the Jews' destruction: woe unto us, for we are spoiled;
their destruction was inevitable, there was no escaping it; and therefore their case was woeful and miserable.

Jeremías 4:13 In-Context

11 En aquel tiempo se dirá a este pueblo y a Jerusalén: Un viento abrasador de las alturas desoladas del desierto, en dirección a la hija de mi pueblo, no para aventar, ni para limpiar,
12 un viento demasiado fuerte para esto, vendrá a mi mandato. Ahora yo pronunciaré juicios contra ellos.
13 He aquí que él sube como las nubes, y como un torbellino sus carros; sus caballos son más ligeros que las águilas. ¡Ay de nosotros, porque estamos perdidos!
14 Lava de maldad tu corazón, Jerusalén, para que seas salva. ¿Hasta cuándo morarán dentro de ti pensamientos perversos?
15 Porque una voz lo anuncia desde Dan, y proclama el mal desde los montes de Efraín.
