Jeremías 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 16:2

Thou shall not take thee a wife
Not because it was unlawful; for it was lawful for prophets to marry, and they did; but because it was not advisable, on account of the calamities and distresses which were coming upon the nation; which would be more bearable by him alone, than if he had a wife, which would increase his care, concern, and sorrow. Neither shall thou have sons nor daughters in this place;
in Anathoth, says Kimchi; but it is most likely that Jerusalem in particular is meant, though the whole land of Judea in general may be designed; and though nothing is more desirable than to have children to build up the family, and bear and continue a man's name for futurity, yet in times of public calamity these do but add to the affliction.

Jeremías 16:2 In-Context

1 A Jeremías se le prohíbe casarse
El Señor
me dio otro mensaje:
2 «No te cases ni tengas hijos en este lugar.
3 Pues esto dice el Señor
acerca de los niños nacidos en esta ciudad y de sus madres y padres:
4 morirán de enfermedades terribles. Nadie llorará por ellos ni tampoco los enterrarán sino que yacerán dispersos sobre el suelo como si fueran estiércol. Morirán por la guerra y morirán de hambre, y sus cuerpos serán comida para los buitres y los animales salvajes».
5 Se acerca el castigo a Judá
Esto dice el Señor
: «No vayas a los funerales para llorar y mostrar compasión por ellos, porque he retirado mi protección y mi paz de ellos; he quitado mi amor inagotable y mi misericordia.
