Geremia 21:7

Listen to Geremia 21:7
7 E poi appresso, dice il Signore, io darò Sedechia, re di Giuda, e i suoi servitori, e il popolo e quelli che saranno scampati in questa città dalla mortalità, e dalla spada, e dalla fame, in man di Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, e in mano de’ lor nemici, e di quelli che cercano l’anima loro; ed egli li percoterà, mettendoli a fil di spada; egli non perdonerà loro e non li risparmierà, e non ne avrà pietà.

Geremia 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 21:7

And afterwards, saith the Lord God
After there should be so great a mortality among men and beasts: I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants;
the king himself shall not escape; though he shall not die by the pestilence, or famine, or sword, yet he shall fall into the hands of the Chaldeans, and also "his servants", his courtiers, and counsellors: and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence,
from the sword, and from the famine;
such of the inhabitants of the city, as well as those at court, that died not by the sword, famine, and pestilence: these should be delivered into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;
who was now with his army without the walls of the city besieging it: and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that
seek their life;
the Chaldeans, who were their implacable enemies, and cruel, and whom nothing would satisfy but their lives: he shall smite them with the edge of the sword;
that is, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, or, however, the army under his command; for what was done by the one is ascribed to the other: this is to be understood of such that fell into their hands upon taking the city, and who endeavoured to make their escape; see ( Jeremiah 39:4-6 ) ; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy;
they had no regard to rank or figure, to age or sex; the sons of the king were slain before his eyes, and then his eyes were put out; princes were hanged up by the hand; and no compassion shown to old or young, man or maiden; see ( Jeremiah 52:10 Jeremiah 52:11 ) ( Lamentations 5:12 Lamentations 5:13 ) ( 2 Chronicles 36:17 ) . This verse is remarkably long.

Geremia 21:7 In-Context

5 Ed io stesso combatterò contro a voi con man distesa, e con possente braccio, in ira, e in cruccio, e in grande indegnazione.
6 E percoterò gli abitanti di questa città, gli uomini, e gli animali; e morranno di gran mortalità.
7 E poi appresso, dice il Signore, io darò Sedechia, re di Giuda, e i suoi servitori, e il popolo e quelli che saranno scampati in questa città dalla mortalità, e dalla spada, e dalla fame, in man di Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, e in mano de’ lor nemici, e di quelli che cercano l’anima loro; ed egli li percoterà, mettendoli a fil di spada; egli non perdonerà loro e non li risparmierà, e non ne avrà pietà.
8 Ed a questo popolo di’: Così ha detto il Signore: Ecco, io vi propongo la via della vita, e la via della morte.
9 Coloro che dimoreranno in questa città morranno di spada, o di fame, o di pestilenza; ma quelli che andranno ad arrendersi a’ Caldei, i quali vi assediano, viveranno, e l’anima loro sarà loro per ispoglia.
