Geremia 29:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:27

Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of
Anathoth
Not by words only, but by actions; by beating and scourging, by pillory or imprisonment, and so restraining him from prophesying to the people: which maketh himself a prophet unto you?
takes upon him such an office, though not sent of the Lord, as he would insinuate: this shows the haughtiness and insolence of the false prophets in Babylon, to assume such authority to themselves, to dictate to the high priest, as Kimchi takes him to be, or however the second priest, what he should do, and to rebuke him for not doing his office.

Geremia 29:27 In-Context

25 Così ha detto il Signore degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Perciocchè tu hai mandate in nome tuo lettere a tutto il popolo, che è in Gerusalemme, ed a Sofonia, figliuolo di Maaseia, sacerdote, ed a tutti i sacerdoti, dicendo:
26 Il Signore ti ha costituito sacerdote in luogo del sacerdote Gioiada; acciocchè voi siate sopraintendenti della Casa del Signore, avendo podestà sopra ogni uomo forsennato, e che fa il profeta, per metterlo in carcere, e ne’ ceppi;
27 ora dunque, perchè non hai tu sgridato Geremia di Anatot, che fa il profeta fra voi?
28 Perciocchè egli ci ha mandato a dire in Babilonia: La cosa andrà in lungo; edificate pur delle case, ed abitate in esse; piantate de’ giardini, e mangiatene il frutto.
29 Or il sacerdote Sofonia avea lette queste lettere in presenza del profeta Geremia.
