Jeremías 23:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:40

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you
Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and still is; for this cannot be restrained to the short captivity of seventy years in Babylon; though this reproach began then, and they never recovered their former honour and glory; and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten;
the same thing in different words, to heighten their disgrace, and confirm the perpetuity of it.

Jeremías 23:40 In-Context

38 Pero supongamos que responden: “¡Esta es una profecía del Señor
!”. Entonces deberás decir: “Esto dice el Señor
: ‘Debido a que han usado la frase “una profecía del Señor
”, aun cuando les advertí que no la usaran,

39 me olvidaré de ustedes por completo.
Los expulsaré de mi presencia, junto con esta ciudad que les di a ustedes y a sus antepasados.

40 Los haré objeto de burla y su nombre será infame a lo largo de los siglos’”».
