Jeremías 19:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 19:15

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
(See Gill on Jeremiah 19:3); behold, I will bring upon this city, and upon all her towns:
the city of Jerusalem, and all the cities and towns near it, even all the cities and towns in Judea; of which Jerusalem was the metropolis, and therefore called hers: all the evil that I have pronounced against it;
or decreed against it, as the Targum; all that he had purposed, and all that he had threatened, or spoke of by the Prophet Jeremiah, or any other of his prophets; for whatever he has said he will do, and whatsoever he has solved upon, and declared he will do, he assuredly brings to pass: because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my
words;
they turned their backs upon him, pulled away the shoulder, stopped their ears that they might not hear what was said by the prophets from the Lord; they neither inclined their ears to hearken to, nor bowed their necks to receive the yoke of his precepts; but, on the contrary, were, as was their general character, a stiffnecked people, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, obstinate and disobedient; and this was the cause of their ruin, by which it appeared to be just and righteous.

Jeremías 19:15 In-Context

13 Efectivamente, todas las casas de Jerusalén —incluso el palacio de los reyes de Judá— quedarán como Tofet, es decir, todas las casas donde quemaron incienso en las azoteas en honor a los astros como si fueran dioses o donde derramaron ofrendas líquidas a sus ídolos’”».

14 Después de transmitir el mensaje, Jeremías regresó de Tofet, el basurero, y se detuvo frente al templo del Señor
. Allí le dijo a la gente:

15 «Esto dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales, Dios de Israel: “Traeré desastre sobre esta ciudad y las aldeas vecinas como lo prometí, porque tercamente se negaron a escucharme”».
