Jeremiah 25:35

35 You will find no place to hide; there will be no way to escape.

Jeremiah 25:35 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:35

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee
Or, "and flight shall perish from the shepherds" ^F21; though they may attempt it, they shall not be able to accomplish it; neither the dignity of their persons, the greatness of their power, or the abundance of their riches, would make a way for them; their enemies being so numerous, powerful, and watchful: nor the principal of the flock to escape;
this was particularly verified in Zedekiah and his princes, ( Jeremiah 39:4-6 ) . The Targum is,

``and the house of fugitives shall perish from the kings, and deliverance from the mighty of the people.''

Jeremiah 25:35 In-Context

33 In that day those the LORD has slaughtered will fill the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn for them or gather up their bodies to bury them. They will be scattered on the ground like manure.

34 Weep and moan, you evil shepherds! Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock! The time of your slaughter has arrived; you will fall and shatter like a fragile vase.

35 You will find no place to hide; there will be no way to escape.

36 Listen to the frantic cries of the shepherds. The leaders of the flock are wailing in despair, for the LORD is ruining their pastures.

37 Peaceful meadows will be turned into a wasteland by the LORD ’s fierce anger.
