Jeremías 46:27

27 Pero tú no temas, siervo mío Jacob, 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.

Jeremías 46:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 46:27

But fear thou not, O my servant Jacob; and be not dismayed, O
Israel
The same things are said in ( Jeremiah 30:10 ) ; (See Gill on Jeremiah 30:10); for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land
their captivity;
Grotius thinks the Jews carried into Egypt by Pharaohnecho, along with Jehoahaz, are meant; but it does not appear that any were carried captive along with him, ( 2 Kings 23:33 2 Kings 23:34 ) . Jarchi supposes these to be the righteous in Egypt, who were carried thither by Johanan against their will; but though they may be included, even that small remnant that should escape, ( Jeremiah 44:28 ) ; yet the Jews in Babylon, and other provinces, are chiefly designed; and the words are intended to comfort them in their captivity, with a promise of their return, lest they should be discouraged, in hearing that the Egyptians should inhabit their own land again, and they not theirs: and Jacob shall return, and be in rest, and at ease, and none shall
make [him] afraid:
this will have its full accomplishment hereafter in the latter day; when the Jews will be converted, and return to their own land, and never be disturbed more, as they have been, ever since their return from the Babylonish captivity. So Kimchi says this passage respects time to come.

Jeremías 46:27 In-Context

25 Dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: He aquí, castigaré a Amón de Tebas, a Faraón y a Egipto junto con sus dioses y sus reyes; a Faraón y a los que en él confían.

26 Y los entregaré en manos de los que buscan su vida, en manos de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y en manos de su siervo. Mas después será habitado como en los días de antañodeclara el SEÑOR.

27 Pero tú no temas, siervo mío Jacob, 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.

28 Tú no temas, siervo mío Jacobdeclara el SEÑOR porque yo estoy contigo; pues acabaré con todas las naciones adonde te he expulsado, pero no acabaré contigo, sino que te castigaré con justicia; de ninguna manera te dejaré sin castigo.
