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

Jeremías 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:9

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord
For such adulteries and lasciviousness, and that in a way of punishment. The Targum adds,

``to bring evil upon them;''
the evil of punishment for the evil of sin: and shall not my soul be avenged upon such a nation as this?
which cannot delight in sin, but hates it; and therefore must punish for it; vindictive and punitive justice is essential to God; as sin is contrary to his nature, it is agreeable to it to punish for it; he cannot but do it; and he does avenge all sin, either on the sinner himself, or on his surety.

Jeremías 5:9 In-Context

7 ¿Por qué he de perdonarte por esto? Tus hijos me han abandonado y han jurado por lo que no es Dios. Cuando los sacié, cometieron adulterio y fueron en tropel a casa de las rameras.
8 Eran caballos cebados y fogosos, cada cual relinchando tras la mujer de su prójimo.
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.
