Jeremías 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:11

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very
treacherously against me
This is a reason why such orders are given to the army of the Chaldeans to ascend the walls of Jerusalem and destroy them; namely, the perfidy both of the ten tribes, signified by the house of Israel; so Abarbinel; and of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, signified by the house of Judah; which was very great, and attended with aggravated circumstances; instances of it follow. The Targum is,

``they have dealt very falsely with my word:''

saith the Lord;
for this was not the charge of the prophet against them, but of the Lord himself. This can only be understood of such of the ten tribes as remained in Judea, for the body of that people had been carried captive mary years ago; whose sins Judah imitated, and, being also the posterity of Israel, may be so called.

Jeremías 5:11 In-Context

9 ¿No he de castigar a este pueblo?declara el SEÑOR. De una nación como ésta, ¿no he de vengarme?

10 Subid por entre sus hileras de vides y destruid, mas no hagáis destrucción total; arrancad sus sarmientos, pues no son del SEÑOR;

11 porque la casa de Israel y la casa de Judá han obrado pérfidamente conmigodeclara el SEÑOR.

12 Han mentido acerca del SEÑOR; dijeron: El no existe; ninguna calamidad vendrá sobre nosotros, y no veremos ni espada ni hambre.

13 Los profetas son como el viento, y la palabra no está en ellos. Que así se les haga a ellos.
