Jérémie 25:37 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:37

And the peaceable habitations are cut down
Or, "their peaceable ones", as the Targum; the palaces and stately dwellings, in which they lived in great pomp and prosperity, in great peace, plenty, and safety, are destroyed by the enemy, and laid waste, and become desolate; yea, even those that lived peaceably and quietly, and neither were disturbed themselves, nor disturbed others, yet, as is usual in times of war, share the same fate with their neighbours, who have been more troublesome and molesting: because of the fierce anger of the Lord;
or "from before [it], from the face [of it]"; shall be destroyed by it, that being displayed; and using enemies as instruments in the destruction of them. Sin is the cause of God's wrath and fierce anger, and his wrath and anger the cause of the destruction of men and their habitations, Whoever are the instruments.

Jérémie 25:37 In-Context

35 Plus de refuge pour les pasteurs! Plus de salut pour les conducteurs de troupeaux!
36 On entend les cris des pasteurs, Les gémissements des conducteurs de troupeaux; Car l'Eternel ravage leur pâturage.
37 Les habitations paisibles sont détruites Par la colère ardente de l'Eternel.
38 Il a abandonné sa demeure comme un lionceau sa tanière; Car leur pays est réduit en désert Par la fureur du destructeur Et par son ardente colère.
