Geremia 6:26 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:26

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth
Either as a token of repentance for sin; so the king of Nineveh and his subjects did, to show their repentance, ( Jonah 3:6 Jonah 3:8 ) or as a sign of mourning, for the calamities coming on them, ( Genesis 37:34 ) and wallow thyself in ashes;
or roll thyself in them, as a token of the same. The Targum is,

``cover your heads with ashes.''
Make thee mourning as for an only son;
which of all is the most bitter: and therefore it is added, most bitter lamentation;
see ( Zechariah 12:10 ) . For the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us;
namely, Nebuchadnezzar, that would spoil their cities, towns, villages, and houses, and them of all their wealth and substance, and carry it away.

Geremia 6:26 In-Context

24 Come prima ne avremo sentito il grido, le nostre mani diverranno fiacche; distretta ci coglierĂ , e doglia, come di donna che partorisce.
25 Non uscite a’ campi, e non andate per li cammini; perciocchè la spada del nemico, e lo spavento è d’ogn’intorno.
26 Figliuola del mio popolo, cingiti d’un sacco, e voltolati nella cenere; fa’ cordoglio, come per un figliuolo unico, ed un lamento amarissimo; perciocchè il guastatore verrà di subito sopra noi.
27 Io ti ho posto per riparo, e fortezza, nel mio popolo; e tu conoscerai, e proverai la lor via.
28 Essi tutti son ribelli ritrosissimi, vanno sparlando; son rame e ferro; tutti son corrotti.
