Jeremia 42:21

21 Und ich habe es euch heute kundgetan; aber ihr habt nicht auf die Stimme Jehovas, eures Gottes, gehört, nach allem, womit er mich zu euch gesandt hat.

Jeremia 42:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 42:21

And [now] I have this day declared [it] unto you
The whole will of God, and had not kept back anything from them: but ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God;
or, "ye will not obey" F3; the prophet knew they would not obey the command of the Lord not to go into Egypt, either by his conversation with them during the ten days the answer of the Lord was deferred, by which he plainly saw they were determined to go into Egypt; or by their countenances and behaviour, while he was delivering the Lord's message to them; by what he observed in them, he knew what was said was not agreeable to them, and that their mind was to go into Egypt: or he had this, as others think, by divine revelation; though without that he knew the cast of this people, and what a rebellious and disobedient people they were, and had been, never obeying the voice of the Lord: nor any [thing] for which he hath sent me unto you:
not anyone particular thing respecting this present affair; nor indeed any of his prophecies had they regarded, with which he had been sent to them before.

Jeremia 42:21 In-Context

19 Jehova hat zu euch geredet, ihr Überrest von Juda: Ziehet nicht nach Ägypten! Wisset bestimmt, daß ich es euch heute ernstlich bezeugt habe.
20 Denn ihr habt um den Preis eurer Seelen geirrt. Denn ihr habt mich an Jehova, euren Gott, gesandt und gesprochen: Bete für uns zu Jehova, unserem Gott; und nach allem, was Jehova, unser Gott, sagen wird, also tue uns kund, und wir werden es tun.
21 Und ich habe es euch heute kundgetan; aber ihr habt nicht auf die Stimme Jehovas, eures Gottes, gehört, nach allem, womit er mich zu euch gesandt hat.
22 Und nun wisset bestimmt, daß ihr sterben werdet durch das Schwert, durch den Hunger und durch die Pest an dem Orte, wohin es euch zu ziehen gelüstet, um euch daselbst aufzuhalten.
