Listen to Jeremías 8:15
15 Esperábamos paz, y no hubo bien alguno; tiempo de curación, y he aquí, terror.

Jeremías 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:15

We looked for peace
Outward prosperity, affluence of temporal blessings, peace with enemies, and safety from them, which the false prophets had given them reason to expect; or which last they concluded and hoped for, from their being in the defenced cities: but no good came;
they were disappointed in their expectation; the good that was promised them, and they looked for, never came, but all the reverse: and for a time of health;
or, of healing F12; the political wounds of the commonwealth of Israel: and behold trouble!
or "terror" F13; at the approach of the enemy, described in the following verses. The Targum is,

``a time of pardon of offences, and, lo, a punishment of sins.''
Healing, in Scripture, signifies pardon of sin; see ( Psalms 41:4 ) ( 103:3 ) .

Jeremías 8:15 In-Context

13 'Ciertamente los destruiré'declara el SEÑOR; "no habrá uvas en la vid, ni higos en la higuera, y la hoja se marchitará; lo que les he dado, pasará de ellos.'"
14 ¿Por qué estamos aún sentados? Congregaos, y entremos en las ciudades fortificadas, y perezcamos allí, pues el SEÑOR nuestro Dios nos hace perecer y nos ha dado a beber agua envenenada, porque hemos pecado contra el SEÑOR.
15 Esperábamos paz, y no hubo bien alguno; tiempo de curación, y he aquí, terror.
16 Desde Dan se oye el resoplido de sus caballos; al sonido de los relinchos de sus corceles, tiembla toda la tierra; vienen y devoran la tierra y cuanto hay en ella, la ciudad y los que en ella habitan.
17 Porque he aquí, yo envío contra vosotros serpientes, áspides contra los cuales no hay encantamiento, y os morderándeclara el SEÑOR.
