Jérémie 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:18

When I would comfort myself against terror
Either naturally, by eating and drinking, the necessary and lawful means of refreshment; or spiritually, by reading the word of God, and looking over the promises in it: my heart is faint in me;
at the consideration of the calamities which were coming upon his people, and which were made known to him by a spirit of prophecy, of which he had no room to doubt. So the Targum takes them to be the words of the prophet, paraphrasing them,

``for them, saith the prophet, my heart grieves.''

Jérémie 8:18 In-Context

16 Le hennissement de ses chevaux se fait entendre du côté de Dan, Et au bruit de leur hennissement toute la terre tremble; Ils viennent, ils dévorent le pays et ce qu'il renferme, La ville et ceux qui l'habitent.
17 Car j'envoie parmi vous des serpents, des basilics, Contre lesquels il n'y a point d'enchantement; Ils vous mordront, dit l'Eternel.
18 Je voudrais soulager ma douleur; Mon coeur souffre au dedans de moi.
19 Voici les cris de la fille de mon peuple Retentissent sur la terre lointaine: L'Eternel n'est-il plus à Sion? N'a-t-elle plus son roi au milieu d'elle? -Pourquoi m'ont-ils irrité par leurs images taillées, Par des idoles étrangères? -
20 La moisson est passée, l'été est fini, Et nous ne sommes pas sauvés!
