Geremia 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 12:10

Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard
This is a metaphor which is often used of the people of Israel and Judah; see ( Psalms 80:8 ) ( Isaiah 5:1-7 ) ( 27:2 ) , the pastors that destroyed them are not their own governors, civil or religious, but Heathen princes, Nebuchadnezzar and his generals. So the Targum paraphrases it,

``many kings slay my people;''
so Kimchi and Ben Melech. They have trodden my portion under foot;
the people of the Jews, that were his portion, and before called his heritage; whom the Chaldeans subdued, and reduced to extreme servitude and bondage; and were as the dirt under their feet, greatly oppressed and despised. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness;
by pulling down stately edifices, unwalling of towers, and destroying men; so that there were none to manure the fields, to dress the vineyards, and keep gardens and orchards in good case; but all were come to ruin and what before was a delightful paradise was now like an heath or desert.

Geremia 12:10 In-Context

8 La mia eredità mi è stata come un leone nel bosco; ha data fuori la sua voce contro a me; perciò l’ho odiata.
9 La mia eredità mi è stata come un uccello vaiolato; o uccelli, venite contro a lei d’ogn’intorno; andate, radunatevi, voi tutte le fiere della campagna, venite per mangiare.
10 Molti pastori han guasta la mia vigna, han calpestata la mia possessione, han ridotta la mia cara possessione in un deserto di desolazione.
11 È stata ridotta in desolazione; e, tutta desolata, ha fatto cordoglio appo me; tutta la terra è desolata, perciocchè non vi è alcuno che ponga mente a queste cose.
12 De’ guastatori son venuti sopra tutti i luoghi elevati nel deserto; perciocchè la spada del Signore divorerà da una estremità del paese infino all’altra; non vi è pace alcuna per veruna carne.
