Geremia 23:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:11

For both prophet and priest are profane
Being guilty of the afore mentioned sins. The Targum is,

``the scribe and the priest;''
and such were the scribes and priests in the time of our Lord; they played "the hypocrite" F17, as some render the word here; and are often charged with the sin of hypocrisy, and called hypocrites, ( Matthew 22:18 ) ( Matthew 23:13-15 Matthew 23:23 Matthew 23:25 Matthew 23:27 Matthew 23:29 ) ; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord;
where they officiated in holy things, or should have done so; where the one should have instructed the people, and the other offered sacrifices for them, according to the will of God; there they committed wickedness, which was an aggravation of their sin, as was the case of Eli's sons, ( 1 Samuel 2:22-24 ) ; perhaps the same sin was committed by these men; or idolatry may be meant; setting up images, and building altars for them in the house of God; see ( Jeremiah 7:30 ) ; or carrying on traffic and merchandise, whereby the temple was made a house of merchandise, as it was in the times of Christ, ( John 2:14-16 ) .

Geremia 23:11 In-Context

9 IL mio cuore è rotto dentro di me per cagion de’ profeti; tutte le mie ossa ne sono scrollate; io son come un uomo ebbro, e come una persona sopraffatta dal vino; per cagion del Signore, e per cagion delle parole della sua santità.
10 Perciocchè il paese è pieno di adulteri; perciocchè il paese fa cordoglio per l’esecrazioni; i paschi del deserto ne son tutti secchi; il corso di costoro è malvagio, e la lor forza non è diritta.
11 Perciocchè e profeti e sacerdoti sono profani; e nella mia Casa stessa ho trovata la lor malvagità, dice il Signore.
12 Perciò, la lor via sarà come sdruccioli in tenebre; saranno sospinti, e caderanno in esse; perciocchè io farò venir sopra loro del male, l’anno della lor visitazione, dice il Signore.
13 Ben avea io vedute cose sconvenevoli ne’ profeti di Samaria; profetizzavano per Baal, e traviavano il mio popolo Israele;
