Listen to Geremia 5:9
9 Non farei io punizione di queste cose? dice il Signore; e non vendicherebbesi l’anima mia d’una cotal gente?

Geremia 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:9

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord
For such adulteries and lasciviousness, and that in a way of punishment. The Targum adds,

``to bring evil upon them;''
the evil of punishment for the evil of sin: and shall not my soul be avenged upon such a nation as this?
which cannot delight in sin, but hates it; and therefore must punish for it; vindictive and punitive justice is essential to God; as sin is contrary to his nature, it is agreeable to it to punish for it; he cannot but do it; and he does avenge all sin, either on the sinner himself, or on his surety.

Geremia 5:9 In-Context

7 Come ti perdonerei io questo? i tuoi figliuoli mi hanno lasciato, ed han giurato per quelli che non sono dii; ed avendoli io satollati, han commesso adulterio; e si sono adunati a schiere in casa della meretrice.
8 Quando si levano la mattina, son come cavalli ben pasciuti: ciascun di loro ringhia dietro alla moglie del suo prossimo.
9 Non farei io punizione di queste cose? dice il Signore; e non vendicherebbesi l’anima mia d’una cotal gente?
10 Salite su le sue mura, e guastate, e non fate fine; togliete via i suoi ripari; perciocchè non son del Signore.
11 Conciossiachè la casa d’Israele, e la casa di Giuda, si sieno portate del tutto dislealmente inverso me, dice il Signore.
