Jeremia 29:32

32 darum spricht der HERR also: Siehe, ich will Semaja von Nehalam heimsuchen samt seinem Samen, daß der Seinen keiner soll unter diesem Volk bleiben, und soll das Gute nicht sehen, das ich meinem Volk tun will, spricht der HERR; denn er hat sie mit seiner Rede vom HERRN abgewendet.

Jeremia 29:32 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:32

Therefore thus saith the Lord
Because he prophesied without being sent of God, and prophesied lies, by which the people were deceived: behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed;
not him only, but his posterity also: thus God sometimes visits the sins of parents on their children, they being, as it were, a part of themselves, and oftentimes partners with them in their iniquities: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people;
either at Babylon, or at Jerusalem, whither he had promised a speedy return: neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith
the Lord;
by returning them, after seventy years captivity, to their own land, and to the enjoyment of all their privileges, civil and religious: because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord;
or, "a departure ^F14 from [him]"; taught men to revolt from him, and not give heed to his prophets; to disbelieve what he said by them, concerning their continuance in Babylon; which is called a rebellion against him; and being so heinous a crime, deserved the punishment denounced on him and his; rebels and their offspring are punished among men.

Jeremia 29:32 In-Context

30 Darum geschah des HERRN Wort zu Jeremia und sprach:

31 Sende hin zu allen Gefangenen und laß ihnen sagen: So spricht der HERR wider Semaja von Nehalam: Darum daß euch Semaja weissagt, und ich habe ihn doch nicht gesandt, und macht, daß ihr auf Lügen vertraut,

32 darum spricht der HERR also: Siehe, ich will Semaja von Nehalam heimsuchen samt seinem Samen, daß der Seinen keiner soll unter diesem Volk bleiben, und soll das Gute nicht sehen, das ich meinem Volk tun will, spricht der HERR; denn er hat sie mit seiner Rede vom HERRN abgewendet.
