Geremia 42:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 42:15

And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of
Judah
A small remnant indeed, a few that were left in the land; who ought therefore to have admired the distinguishing goodness of Providence in preserving them in it; where they should have continued and made use of their privilege, to the glory of God and their mutual good: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
the Lord of armies above and below, the Lord God omnipotent, and so able to protect them in their land; and who had a peculiar favour to Israel, and stood in a particular relation to them, and therefore would do it, of which they had no reason to doubt; but, disobliging him, what judgments might they not expect? if you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt:
are resolved upon it, and are actually engaged in it; turning their faces from Judea towards Egypt, and obstinately pursuing it, nor can be reclaimed from it: the phrase expresses their resolution, impudence, and obstinacy: and go to sojourn there:
to be sojourners and strangers there, as their fathers had been before; the remembrance of which was enough to set them against going into Egypt any more.

Geremia 42:15 In-Context

13 Ma se voi dite: Noi non dimoreremo in questo paese, non ubbidendo alla voce del Signore Iddio vostro, dicendo:
14 No; anzi entreremo nel paese di Egitto, acciocchè non veggiamo la guerra, e non udiamo il suon della tromba, e non sofferiamo fame, per mancamento di pane, e quivi abiteremo;
15 ascoltate ora sopra ciò la parola del Signore, o rimanente di Giuda. Così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Se pur voi rivolgete la faccia per entrare in Egitto, e vi entrate per dimorarvi;
16 egli avverrĂ , che la spada della quale temete, vi aggiugnerĂ  lĂ  nel paese di Egitto; e parimente la fame, della quale voi avete paura, vi starĂ  attaccata dietro lĂ  in Egitto; e quivi morrete.
17 E tutti gli uomini, che avran volta la faccia per entrare in Egitto, per dimorarvi, vi morranno di spada, di fame, e di pestilenza; niuno di loro scamperĂ , o si salverĂ  dal male che io fo venir sopra loro.
