Jeremia 45:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 45:4

Thus shalt thou say unto him
This is spoken to Jeremiah, and is an order from the Lord to him, what he should say in his name to Baruch: the Lord saith thus, behold, [that] which I have built will I break
down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up;
the Jewish nation, both as to church and state; which the Lord had built up as a spacious and beautiful house to dwell in, and had planted as a vineyard, and set it with pleasant plants; but now would demolish this building, and destroy this plantation: even this whole land;
not a few cities only, or only Jerusalem the metropolis, but the whole land of Judea; no part of it but what should be left desolate. So the Targum,

``even the whole land of Israel, which is mine.''

Jeremia 45:4 In-Context

2 So spricht Jehova, der Gott Israels, von dir, Baruk:
3 Du sprichst: Wehe mir! Denn Jehova hat Kummer zu meinem Schmerze gefügt; ich bin müde von meinem Seufzen, und Ruhe finde ich nicht.
4 So sollst du zu ihm sagen: So spricht Jehova: Siehe, was ich gebaut habe, breche ich ab; und was ich gepflanzt habe, reiße ich aus, und zwar das ganze Land.
5 Und du, du trachtest nach großen Dingen für dich? Trachte nicht danach! Denn siehe, ich bringe Unglück über alles Fleisch, spricht Jehova; aber ich gebe dir deine Seele zur Beute an allen Orten, wohin du ziehen wirst.
