Geremia 11:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 11:17

For the Lord of hosts that planted thee
As a green olive tree, and gave thee all thy verdure, fruitfulness, happiness, and prosperity; when he first put thee into the possession of the good land, and distinguished thee by so many favours and blessings; as he is able to take them away, so he will: for he hath pronounced evil against thee;
he hath determined it in his mind, and he hath declared it by his prophets: for the evil of the house of Israel;
the ten tribes, who had committed sin, and for which the evil pronounced had been executed on them already, being some time ago carried captive: and of the house of Judah;
who had taken no warning by them, but had followed them in their iniquities, and even exceeded them; and therefore must expect the like punishment for their sins: which they have done against themselves;
for sin is not only against God, his nature, will, and law; but it is against the sinner himself, and is to his hurt and ruin, both temporal and eternal: to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal;
this particularly was the evil which was so provoking to God; and therefore he determined to bring the evil of punishment upon them; and shows the cause and reason of it; and which is a sufficient vindication of his justice.

Geremia 11:17 In-Context

15 Che ha da far più il mio caro amico nella mia Casa, piochè i maggiori l’impiegano a scelleratezza? Or le carni sacre trapasseranno via da te; perciocchè allora che tu commetti il tuo male, tu festeggi.
16 Il Signore avea chiamato il tuo nome: Ulivo verdeggiante, bello in vaghi frutti; ma, al suono di un grande stormo, egli ha acceso d’intorno a quello un fuoco, e i suoi rami sono stati consumati.
17 E il Signor degli eserciti, che ti avea piantata, ha pronunziato contro a te del male, per la malvagità della casa d’Israele, e della casa di Giuda, che han commessa per dispettarmi, facendo profumi a Baal.
18 OR il Signore mi ha fatti conoscere i lor fatti, ed io li ho conosciuti; allora, Signore, tu me li hai mostrati.
19 Ed io sono stato come un agnello, od un bue, che si mena al macello; ed io non sapeva che facessero delle macchinazioni contro a me, dicendo: Attossichiamo il suo cibo, e sterminiamolo dalla terra de’ viventi, e non sia il suo nome più ricordato.
