Geremia 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:11

Then said the Lord unto me
To the prophet; now the Lord gives a more direct answer to him, and to his prayers and intercession for the people; which he forbids, saying, pray not for this people for their good;
or "for good things", as the Septuagint; for rain, that the famine might cease; and for deliverance from their enemies, that they might not go into captivity; for these things were determined upon by the Lord: he does not forbid him praying at all for them, or for their repentance and reformation; or for spiritual good things for them, for eternal life and salvation for the remnant of his own people among them; but not for external good things for the bulk of them.

Geremia 14:11 In-Context

9 Perchè saresti come un uomo smarrito, come un uomo prode che non può salvare? Ora, Signore, tu sei pur nel mezzo di noi, e il tuo Nome è invocato sopra noi; non abbandonarci.
10 Così ha detto il Signore a questo popolo: Così hanno preso diletto d’andar vagando, e non hanno rattenuti i lor piedi; perciò il Signore non li gradisce; ora ricorderà la loro iniquità, e farà punizion de’ lor peccati.
11 Poi il Signore mi disse: Non pregare in bene per questo popolo.
12 Quando digiuneranno, io non ascolterò il grido loro; e quando offeriranno olocausto ed offerta, io non li avrò a grado; anzi li consumerò per la spada, e per la fame, e per la peste.
13 Ed io dissi: Ahi Signore Iddio! ecco, i profeti dicon loro: Voi non vedrete la spada, e fame non vi avverrà; anzi vi darò ferma pace in questo luogo.
