Geremia 9:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:18

And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us
Deliver out a mournful song, as the Arabic version; setting forth their miseries and distresses, and affecting their minds with them. The prophet puts himself among the people, as being a party concealed in their sufferings, and sympathizing with them, as well as to show the certainty of then and how soon they would be involved in them: that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with
waters;
or balls of the eye, as the Targum and Kimchi; these hyperbolical expressions are used to express the greatness of the calamity, and that no mourning was equal to it; see ( Jeremiah 9:1 ) .

Geremia 9:18 In-Context

16 E li dispergerò fra genti, le quali nè essi, nè i lor padri, non han conosciute; e manderò dietro a loro la spada, finchè io li abbia consumati.
17 Così ha detto il Signor degli eserciti: Considerate, e chiamate delle lamentatrici, e fate che vengano; e mandate per delle più avvedute, che vengano; ed affrettinsi, e prendano a fare un rammarichio di noi;
18 e struggansi i nostri occhi in lagrime, e le nostre palpebre stillino acqua;
19 perciocchè una voce di lamento è stata unita da Sion: Come siamo stati distrutti? noi siamo grandemente confusi; perciocchè abbiam lasciato il paese, e le nostre stanze ci hanno scacciati.
20 Perciocchè, o donne, ascoltate la parola del Signore; e riceva il vostro orecchio la parola della sua bocca; ed insegnate dei rammarichii alle vostre figliuole, e de’ lamenti, ciascuna alla sua compagna.
