Jeremías 2:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:12

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this
Meaning either the angels in heaven, or the heavens themselves, by a personification: and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord;
all which may be signified by storms and tempests, by thunder and lightning, and by the sun's withdrawing its light. This is said to aggravate the wickedness committed, as if the heavens blushed and were ashamed, and were confounded and amazed at it; and as if, on account of it, the Jews deserved not the benefit of the heavens, and the orbs in them.

Jeremías 2:12 In-Context

10 »Vayan al occidente y miren en la tierra de Chipre;
vayan al oriente y busquen en la tierra de Cedar.
ÂżAcaso alguien ha oĂ­do algo
tan extraño como esto?
11 ÂżAlguna vez una naciĂłn ha cambiado sus dioses por otros,
aun cuando no son dioses en absoluto?
¡Sin embargo, mi pueblo ha cambiado a su glorioso Dios
por Ă­dolos inĂştiles!
12 Los cielos están espantados ante semejante cosa
y retroceden horrorizados y consternados
—dice el Señor
—.
13 Pues mi pueblo ha cometido dos maldades:
me ha abandonado a mĂ­
—la fuente de agua viva—
y ha cavado para sĂ­ cisternas rotas
¡que jamás pueden retener el agua!
14 Los resultados del pecado de Israel
»¿Por qué Israel se ha convertido en esclavo?
¿Por qué se lo han llevado como botín?
