Jeremia 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 12:11

They have made it desolate
Which is repeated to denote the certainty of it; astonishment at it, and that it might be observed: and being desolate it mourneth unto me;
not the inhabitants of it for their sins, the cause of this desolation; but the land itself, because of the calamities upon it; it crying to God, in its way, for a restoration to its former beauty and glory. The whole land is made desolate;
it was not only the case of Jerusalem, and the parts adjacent, but even of the whole land of Judea: because no man layeth it to heart,
took any notice of the judgment threatened, foretold by the prophets; nor repented of their sins, for which they were threatened with such a desolation; nor even were properly affected with the destruction itself; the earth seemed more sensible of it than they were; this expresses the great stupidity of this people.

Jeremia 12:11 In-Context

9 Mein Erbe ist wie der sprenklige Vogel, um welchen sich die Vögel sammeln. Wohlauf, sammelt euch, alle Feldtiere, kommt und fresset.
10 Es haben Hirten, und deren viel, meinen Weinberg verderbt und meinen Acker zertreten; sie haben meinen schönen Acker zur Wüste gemacht, sie haben's öde gemacht.
11 Ich sehe bereits wie es so jämmerlich verwüstet ist; ja das ganze Land ist wüst. Aber es will's niemand zu Herzen nehmen.
12 Denn die Verstörer fahren daher über alle Hügel der Wüste, und das fressende Schwert des HERRN von einem Ende des Landes bis zum andern; und kein Fleisch wird Frieden haben.
13 Sie säen Weizen, aber Disteln werden sie ernten; sie lassen's sich sauer werden, aber sie werden's nicht genießen; sie werden ihres Einkommens nicht froh werden vor dem grimmigen Zorn des HERRN.
