Geremia 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 13:9

Thus saith the Lord, after this manner
As this girdle has been hid in Euphrates, and has been marred and rendered useless; so in like manner, and by such like means, will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem;
or their glory, or excellency F20; that which they gloried in, and were proud of; their city which was burnt, and their temple which was destroyed by the Chaldeans; their king, princes, and nobles, who were carried captive into Babylon, by the river Euphrates, and stripped of all their grandeur, honour, and glory; and so the Targum,

``so will I corrupt the strength of the men of Judah, and the strength of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, which is much;''
and to which agrees the Syriac version, which renders it,
``the proud or haughty men of Judah, and the many haughty men of Jerusalem.''

Geremia 13:9 In-Context

7 Ed io andai all’Eufrate, e cavai, e tolsi la cintura del luogo dove io l’avea nascosta; ed ecco, la cintura era guasta, e non era più buona a nulla.
8 E la parola del Signore mi fu indirizzata, dicendo:
9 Così ha detto il Signore: Così guasterò la magnificenza di Giuda, la gran magnificenza di Gerusalemme;
10 di questo popolo malvagio, che ricusa di ascoltar le mie parole, che cammina nella durezza del cuor suo, e va dietro ad altri dii, per servirli, e per adorarli; e quella diventerà come questa cintura, che non è più buona a nulla.
11 Perciocchè, siccome la cintura è apposta in su i lombi dell’uomo, così io mi avea congiunta tutta la casa d’Israele, e tutta la casa di Giuda, dice il Signore; acciocchè fosse mio popolo, a fama, ed a lode, ed a gloria; ma essi non hanno ubbidito.
